SpaceRuin by MegaFuze
Shooting ghost aliens in a space ruin.

NOTE: Mac version might not work well as it was a last minute port
Controls: WASD
Shoot: Mouse
FULLSCREEN: left Alt key
EXIT: Escape
Mechanics: Every 10 seconds an event will occur, the only way to avoid being affected is by standing on the light blue sanctuary panels seen on the floor. If you dont stand on them then any event will take effect on you
Events can be seen on the bottom of the screen, it will display which one is in effect
Some benefit, you others dont, so dont stay too comfortable if youre constantly getting good ones
Timer is on top right but if youre not paying attention to it then dont worry because the screen blinks and warns you of an incoming event in the last 2 seconds
You cannot have more than 3 bullets appear on your screen. this is done to prevent flooding the screen with bullets
ALL EVENTS: Poison - Quickly Drains HP Slowness - Slows down player to its slowest Swiftness - Increases speed Half-Damage - you deal half damage from enemies but enemies also deal half damage from you. Take advantage of the sanctuary panels Heal - heals slowly
Canceled Event: Controller direction swap - your directions get swapped (cancelled because you get stuck if you touch a sanctuary panels!
Game was originally gonna be a small dungeon but some issues led it to be a small survival shooter game instead

I had the same idea for my game (bad random events). The only issue was that I think that in one of my runs I had an event that lower my health and it killed me. So maybe you can make that the event can't kill you ?
Good job !
