You already acknowledged there was things to work on in the description, and I would say if you improve this, you're on your way to become a great flash artist.
The first thing is the lack of sound or bgm. Its necessary to add "life" to the game.
The next thing is the damage, and how theres no "reaction" to someone getting hit other than the meters going down. You should at least have them blink along with a sound effect.
The enemies, and the character, weren't very lively. You should change it so shooting and aiming is done with the mouse, and the protag's arm moves as you move the mouse. The slimes could maybe have some kind of bubbling effect, and I couldn't tell the yellow squares were enemies until they vomited acid on me.
Anyway, your doing great so far with the movement, the health meters, etc. As you are willing to improve, I give you a 4/5
