Astray

Astray is a 3D maze runner rendered in WebGL. You control a marble, tilt it through procedurally built corridors and hunt for the exit — but the maze is not just walls. Ramps, pits and moving obstacles turn every corner into a small physics problem.

The lighting does most of the storytelling: dark corridors, coloured emergency lights, and a minimap that slowly reveals the route you have already survived.

A slower, more atmospheric pick than the arcade titles — best played with a keyboard and a few minutes of patience.

How to play Astray

• Move the marble with the arrow keys or W A S D.
• Find the glowing exit at the end of the maze.
• Use the minimap in the corner to track corridors you have already explored.
• Collect keys and avoid dead ends when the timer is tight.

Tips & strategy

Astray is a maze game with physics. The marble keeps momentum, so the fastest route is usually the smoothest one, not the one with the most turns.

• Use the minimap to spot dead ends before you commit to a corridor; retracing costs more time than a deliberate route.
• Ease off before corners. The marble slides, and clipping a wall kills more speed than a wide, smooth turn.
• Hug one wall consistently — it turns exploration into a system instead of a series of guesses.
• Approach ramps head-on; hitting them at an angle sends you into the side rails.
• Remember landmarks such as coloured lights and floor patterns so you can tell corridors apart.
• The exit is rarely next to the spawn. Explore outward in a loop rather than wandering randomly.
