Not to fond of such a specific form of death. What if they don't get shot in the head or something?

This is why you should add multiple death sequences  :P

I have two ideas for the explosion death.

1- make multiple deaths with an explosion coming out in a different area each time to give variety.
2- have the explosion come from the chest ( I think you could get away with it with your current animation).

completely remaking the actual explosion (only 2 frames are done right now though  :blind:)

Moving the explosion a little lower would actually make a lot of sense too haha
I hadn't actually lined up the playable characters with this enemy until I read your post and apparently the tallest character barely reaches his neck/upper chest area

so yeah i'll have the explosion lower down when i'm done with this

Maybe an arm or a leg could fall off fall off? That could be cool.

Something about him laying there seems a bit off to me. I think it may be that his "eye" is still lit up. What if after he landed the eye dimmed/faded to off? Right now it seems less like he is dead and more like he was just knocked down pretty hard. It's almost as if he is about to get back up.
