Not bad. Definitely see the Cave Story influence there. The legs bother me a tad only because he doesn't seem to be standing well enough to support himself from the recoil of the gun but it's not important at all. I like the lil bit that comes out the gun just after firing too. Nicely animated that, and it's those lil details which make me like pixel art in games so much.
