New Game Release: CrytorYan and Some Poster News

Hey All,

I have made a new Game for QOG Madness 2Hour Compo but I think I can’t participate because the game took developement time more than that (6 hours).

These 6 hours are divided like that the game engine and game took around 3 hours and 43 minutes, The music and sounds took around 1 hour which was so waste of time and The rest was for menus and interfaces.

The game as you can see is called CrytorYan which is a professor zack discovered material. The gameplay is so simple as it is a simple shooter with a small twist.
