graphically, they look okay, but aesthetically i found it hard at first to identify what pickup belonged to which item. it seemed to me that ammo pickups where marked as cyan to identify that they belong to ammo, but then you find the stimpack, which is two cyan crosses.
speaking of the crosses, apart from their colour, their sizes are indistinguishable to me. i feel the health bonus should be smaller to signal that it's a tiny bonus to my health, but it looks more like it's going to be a stimpack. furthermore, bundling crosses together i feel is a poor way to show that it gives more health. instead, the crosses should grow in size instead, from small, mid, to big, and have a colour-scheme that makes more sense: orange and blue are good contrasting colours, but what's up with that purple? they look like they'd alter your powers/poison you more than trying to heal you. greens and reds are more "healthier" colours, i feel.
as for the ammo... i see that they're using a shared colour-scheme and uniform design to show that they belong to the ammo category, which is good! however, i'm not so sure about the cyan colour. i'd say a warmer colour like orange/yellow-ish feels like it belongs more as ammo. i was also kind of confused the first time i saw a clip, to be honest. maybe making the shapes more recognizable could solve the problem? the clips and shells both feel too bulky and samey for me to be able to identify them as different types of ammo, and the clipbox made little sense to me.
at any rate, i do like the aesthetics of the mod itself. perhaps it doesn't fit as a stand-in for Doom pickups, but could very well fit in a mod of some sorts. i just feel that the pick-ups were a bit confusing to know what they really did.
name changed, because it may not be that shiny anymore, added other ammo pick ups, the cell and cell pack ones are bad, can't think of something else, i really should stop this LOL .
Sorry for double posting (yet again), but, UPDATES.
Changed the Cell and Cell Pack sprites, the new ones should be nicer.
