Boom! Headshot!
The movement and graphics is good and fluid, but the sniper mechanics needs to be improved such as hit detection.

Just Right
The game's good with the graphics . . it shot detection is lacking . .
Zoom Please
It wasnt bad. I agree with most people the AI could be tightened up a bit, but that happens.
My big thoughts are that the guards kinda freak out when they change directions, or like turn to go the other way, this was a little problematic. I also think that if you retry a mission, what you already shot shouldn't continue to increase your stats. Essentially someone could just keep getting head shots, but not complete the mission they are on to boost their accuracy.
My biggest peeve with the game though, was that while I loved the ability to look without the scope, when you have a scope on a rifle it actually allows you to zoom in, all this did was limit your field of vision. If you want to use the scope, it should be a real scope and bring the object into closer view.
I know this causes all kinds of problems with scripting and scaling the difficulty but, if you are making the extra effort to make the bodies more real... might as well bring them into closer view so we can see them better :)
Keep going though, you show promise with this.
Good but...
I have yet to see a sniper game with very many novel missions and concepts. The missions are always similar to missions from other sniper games in the past. I like that there is better silhouettes of the people but there is little originality.
It's fun until you realize you've already played the game.
Not too bad
Not bad, but the missions are not of equal difficulties, for instance, the number 10 one seemed hard and made me retry 3 times, while the 11th didn't require much skill,
also, the hitboxes are a bit weird
