I actually liked the riskiness and uncertainty of not having a health counter and not being sure if the next bullet would be the one that takes you down.

Maybe with a stronger indication of when you get hit it could work quite well without one.

Yes, maybe bullet hits could send the player/enemies into a stagger as well as causing the existing blood spurt?
