This. Don’t over think it. I even like the bullet sticking out of the chest like an arrow. It’s far more kid friendly than holes in the chest.

Leave the bullet in his chest?

It has cartoon value to me, which makes it more kid friendly. The old cartoons would frequently get crushed flat by a piano. Just showing them flat as a pancake was not funny enough. They would always smile, and their teeth would be piano keys.
If you wanted to do something like that here, you could have the bullet sprout arms and legs, pull itself out of the guy, put on a hat and briefcase, and walk away. That’s a lot of work for a video game, so don’t actually do that! lol
The bullet sticking out of him is extremely unrealistic and will pull people away from the death being presented. X’s on the eyes do the same thing.

What about just adding a small gunshot wound?
Wait, I forgot to tell you, I’m making a prequel for my game about the villain Johnathan. The game will be rated Teen for Animated Blood, gore (not intense gore just 1 scene), language such as hell crap and frick, and crude humor. All this will NOT be in the kid-friendly Sequel.
this looks like suicide. thats a no go
This is not suicide. He got shot by the hero.
Didn’t say it was, but if you werent here to explain nobody would understand that the hero shot him and just think “Oh, suicide.”

Also, I don’t think “heroes” use guns.
Pretty sure thats only for the bad guys
ok then. The villain has his own prequel and the prequel version isn’t for kids but the Sequel version is for kids. Example: Joker and Batman. Joker had a movie that wasn’t for kids. Teen titans has a show that was an adult version. The heroes shot him with his leftover gun. I guess I will make the prequel more kid-friendly.
Well thats kinda stupid, a kid plays the sequel then plays the prequel and gets scarred?

Joker was never really for kids
That was actually the original, it was soon changed into Teen Titans

There’s probably no wrong answer as long as the blood goes. Don’t overthink it. Keep it lighthearted.

Are you sure you want to target kids as your audience? If the plot requires you to go into detail about Jonathan Bacon’s death (bullet wound, inspecting his corpse, body rotting (source), etc.), it may be a good idea to consider a different audience. That’s just how I see the situation.
The game’s age ranking is 13+ for mild blood and mild language such as hell, crap, and dammit.
In that case, the scene shouldn’t need too much more playing around with. With a 13+ audience you have a lot more freedom, but considering you’ve marked it with mild blood, I’d just watch to make sure that the blood in the game doesn’t ever feel like overkill.
