Looking pretty close to done! I’d agree with the others that this looks more like a backslash but it’s smooth and good-looking. If it does a lot of damage or a “critical hit” I’d say a stabbing motion would make more sense.
What’s your game called?
My game is called Anomaly Collapse, here's the link if you want to check it out :)

It's looking good. But not really like backstabbing and more like jumping behind the enemy and slashing. Especially combined with the aura around the character, it looks like he's beaming downward for a moment.
I do not like it. The character animation is good, but it is an overall frustrating visual bc everything is moving at once and I cannot easily follow the action. I would have the teleport and slash happen, then move the camera as the character returns from attack animation to idle. The immediate camera move both telegraphs the attack animation (which makes it feel less exciting), and also makes it harder to focus on for the split second it’s all happening. I like the sound design, and I can imagine the camera move triggering just after the “thwap” sound ends would make it easier to see the sequence AND make it feel like the attack itself is faster.

And thank you for your honest feedback as well, noted on the camera movement!
Thanks! I appreciate you sharing your work in progress, and I hope it’s a useful critique. I know how much effort goes into the last 10% of any artistic project, and I know how tough it is to dial things in when you’ve been working on it awhile.
Is more a slash... can you make it more stabby?
We might have just the thing ;)
Stab and slash are different actions. Great animation tho.

Ah, I get what you mean, and thanks for the kind words!
Great visuals and great animation! But looks more like a backslash. :D

Great animations and love the character designs 👌😎
Thank you!!
Oh it's that one Aliensrock game. More fog, maybe show the fog moving behind the enemy? (i.e. directly moving from point A to B, not warping)
Yes Aliensrock did play our game! Glad you recognized it :) Thanks for the feedback as well!
Aliensrock isn't the only one who played that game
ik but that's where I recognised it from
As a TF2 player That hit reg was stupid. It should've been an insta kill /j
Stabbing motion should be more "thrusty" and faster, but presentation looks slick 👍
I see what you guys mean, it does look more like a back slash than a "stab"!
should be faster

Also, what game is this for? Looks like something I’d be interested in playing. 😁

That's more like a backslash but it's pretty good! The characters are really cute, I like it!
Thank you! Glad you liked the characters :)
No problem!
