About Eigengrau
Explore a colorful shoot 'em up with varied and diverse gameplay beyond the familiar shooting and dodging. Every situation, every enemy, and every boss offers a different handcrafted experience.
Journey across burning mountains, frozen plains, below the ocean, and outer space, driven towards an unknown goal. Collect ancient fragments of mysterious origin, and try to find yourself, while the world around you falls into darkness.

Have Fun (Gameplay)
- Experience more than 50 different handcrafted arcade stages and 10 challenging bosses across 8.5 areas.
- Swing around enemies, hide in the dark, jump through space and time, rotate with the environment, and avoid tricky obstacles.
- Each stage is carefully introduced, gradually advanced, and twisted into countless exciting variations.
Be in Control (Accessibility)
- You can change difficulty and game speed, or equip a shield to fit your playing style.
- Practice individual stages and find the best strategy, or play everything at once in Classic Mode.
- Disable unwanted effects, adjust the interface, rotate the screen (Tate), and remap controls to your liking.
Reach the Top (Scoring)
- Race against time, keep up your multiplier, and break the highscore.
- Solve additional tasks to receive bonus points and try to get the highest medal in every stage.
- Unlock trophies/achievements by turning the rules upside down and thinking outside the box.
Work Together (Multiplayer)

I don't think I was doing the right thing.
An extremely fun and creative game where I was constantly surprised and impressed at just how many unique combat encounters there are, both with standard enemies and the bosses that end up mixing it all up. Lets you play the full game in arcade, but also gives you the opportunity to play each stage's pieces from a menu, going for improvement or just the head-scratching objectives it asks of you. Works great on the Steam Deck, had a blast playing it, and look forward to trying to figure out the remaining goals I have.
yeah that's pretty good
Eigengrau is one of the most refreshingly creative shmups I have ever played. A lot of thought clearly went into creating its many unique challenges and there is nothing else quite like it. Eigengrau is easily worth the asking price even if you only play through it once, but you can also spend plenty of time going back through each section to figure out its secret objects and how to complete them, giving Eigengrau some collectathon and puzzle game elements. Unlike most other shmups, Eigengrau doesn't just attempt to refine the genre, it constantly innovates on it in spectacular and unexpected ways.
The Warioware of shumps
It's a really fun shmup: you can go for a 1cc if you want, but even if you're just using the level select and/or are focusing on hunting for secrets and challenges, you'll have a great time regardless. The bosses are also just peak in general, especially the final and secret ones
