This is the player character from an abandoned Amiga game project.

The idea was to make a Contra/Turrican style platformer shooter, where you were part of a "space police force", going into different planets and so on. The project was abandoned years ago, but the main player sprite was finished, so here it is.

So this guy has 8-way directional shooting for all poses: idle, jump, duck and run.

Also for every normal frame there is a corresponding "gun recoil frame". In these frames the gun and arms move slightly. Alternate between them and normal frames for a cool looking recoil effect (think about Contra Megadrive machine gun now :D ).

Also there are 2 running animations: normal and one where the gun moves up and down somewhat. Use whichever you like.

When the guy takes damage there is a "hit" frame. When he dies, use an explosion. Here are some good explosions that work well with this set: https://opengameart.org/content/m484-explosion-set-3

I may add some more small stuff to this set soon, stay tuned.
