## What is Neoteria?

Neoteria is a classic horizontal shoot em up game (shmup).  Multiple worlds, levels and aliens are waiting to be blasted.

Our focus is on using your thumb like the 80's and 90's shooter games:  The faster your thumb, the faster you shoot !!  Give the controls a few minutes to get used to, they really work!

Hidden worlds, different difficulty modes (un-lockable pilots)  AWESOME sound track and great retro graphics and sound effects.

Game starts in easy mode, but Hard mode is as challenging as all our games are, getting the full 100% completion is not for the weak or casual gamer!

## Key features

- Classic horizontal shoot 'em up gameplay
- Multiple worlds and levels
- Fast-paced thumb controls
- Unlockable pilots and hidden worlds
- Retro graphics and sound effects

### 1/5 — Bad control

*2018-08-14*

You can not play well because of bad controls because sometimes it does not respond.

### 1/5 — Die Steuerung..

*2014-08-18*

..ist eine absolute Zumutung. Unspielbar. Sch__ss auf die Toucharcade-Bewertung!! Die Herren Programmierer hätten sich mal die Steuerungen der Cave-Shooter zu Gemüte führen sollen, bevor (!) sie solch einen Müll hier abliefern!!

### 2/5 — Needs improvement

*2013-11-11*

Nice little retro shooter that's ruined by a horrible control system. I expected better from this developer.

### 5/5 — Not work)

*2013-07-23*

Not work with Joypad!))

### 1/5 — Баг с управлением

*2013-06-23*

Управление - отстой.

### 5/5 — good/bom

*2013-06-14*

todos jogos deste criador e mt  bom e eu n gosto mt de jogos mas estes e o meu estilo pode comprar vale a pena e bom trabalho criador/ all the games of this creator its really good and i dont like games but those are difrent good job creator

### 1/5 — À éviter absolument !!! :(

*2012-12-19*

Soyons clair ! 
Les contrôles rendent ce jeu totalement inutilisable et frustrant. 
Je me suis fait avoir en l'achetant car il se trouvait dans la rubrique : "vous aimerez aussi". 
C'est sur que je suis vacciné contre ce genre d'achat. 
Le reste du jeu n'est pas évaluable : niveaux, Level design, durée de vie...
Car ce jeu est intestable. 

Messieurs les développeurs, un peu de respect pour les joueurs et ne commercialisez pas un jeu dont les contrôles (ou tout autres parties) sont en BETA !!!! :(

### 1/5 — Controls are broken

*2012-11-10*

There are 2 control options, one is mostly automatic, so boring and the other 360 degree control just doesn't work. A real shame as its an excellent looking game. Worth nothing as it is, go buy darius or rtype instead. Icade support would help too.

### 2/5 — Wanted to love it

*2012-06-15*

Does so many things right but facepalms on controls. Guys please read a book called Game Feel at your earliest convenience.

### 4/5 — Pretty cool

*2012-05-12*

Reading lots of negative reviews about the controls, so I just wanted to comment that if you are planning to play with the iCade, have no worries, the controls are great. Now if you can only use touch controls... thats another story.
