Astray

Guide a rolling ball through a three-dimensional maze and find the way out. Astray pairs simple directional controls with momentum, close walls and a moving camera, so the challenge comes from careful navigation rather than a complicated rule set. Each cleared maze leads to another layout to solve. It is an easy game to understand at a glance and a satisfying choice for a short keyboard-based puzzle break.

  • Rolling-ball maze navigation
  • Desktop keyboard required
  • A new maze after each escape

Astray: useful things to know

A rolling-ball maze game about reading the corridors and steering toward the exit.

Which keys move the ball, and how do I bring back the instructions?

Use the arrow keys, or H, J, K and L as the alternative controls. Hold I to display the game's instructions again if you need a reminder while navigating the maze.

What is a useful approach when I reach a maze junction?

Choose a corridor deliberately and remember which branch you took. If it leads to a dead end, retrace that route and try an unexplored branch; the objective is to find the maze's exit, not to visit every corridor.
