The intro screen was a bit confusing. White text on light gray background is not a very readable look. Especially if there are so many different keys to explain and so forth.
Shooting direction was very confusing. Seemed random if the shots flew a bit up or down when shooting left or right.
Obviously this could all use some work. But I am going to have to say great job overall anyway! Because creating this from scratch in C in that time is awesome. Good job!
Congratulations on your first ludum dare entry. You did it. You finished your game. :) And in C nonetheless.
Some critique:
As mentioned, hard-to-read font in white on light grey with many infos is not good for presentation.
The game as a whole needs more polish: More readible graphics, less particles, less confusing shooting directions.
And what was that game over timer?
The main menu is too long to read with a bad choice of color. It is well design in a sens you have to read everything to know how to launch a game ^^.
The controls were a bit akward, and the graphics didn't really match. Liked your view on the theme thou.I made a rogue-like too, so thumbs up for that :)
Enemies are funny but It's very difficult to aim them :( If you could shoot forward...
congratulations for you first game! it takes a while to get used to it
The text was not clear enough but I liked the seemingly random generation in the rooms.
Not bad for first LD, I like the fact that you code it in C-family language ;) Tips for game were very hard to read, but same game is ok, good job and happy new year! :)
