Eigengrau

Eigengrau is a colorful shoot 'em up in which you travel through handcrafted stages, collect ancient fragments of mysterious origin and try to find yourself as the world falls into darkness. Your journey crosses burning mountains, frozen plains, the depths of the ocean and outer space, toward an unknown goal.

Stages and challenges

The game includes more than 50 handcrafted arcade stages and 10 bosses across 8.5 areas. Each stage introduces its ideas, develops them and then explores variations. Along the way, you swing around enemies, hide in the dark, jump through space and time, rotate with the environment and avoid obstacles. Situations, enemies and bosses each offer different handcrafted experiences.

Difficulty and practice

You can adjust the difficulty and game speed, or equip a shield to suit your playing style. Practice individual stages to find a strategy, or play through the stages together in Classic Mode. You can also disable effects, adjust the interface, rotate the screen in Tate mode and remap controls.

Scores and medals

Race against time, maintain your multiplier and pursue high scores. Additional tasks award bonus points, and you can aim for the highest medal in every stage. Trophies and achievements reward you for turning the rules upside down and thinking outside the box.

Local co-op

In local co-op, you play with a friend on the same computer and support one another—or not. Co-op also changes how some stages work and feel.
