MO: Astray is visually arresting and strikes a chord aurally to steep a player in its thick evocative sci-fi puzzle/platform soup.
Tanushri reviews MO: Astray, a pixel art, side-scrolling, action-platformer featuring mind-bending puzzles and bizarre enemies
VGChartz's Stephen LaGioia: "Despite some indie studios going out of their way to put a creative twist on the formula, it’s hard to deny the abundance of retro-style platformers and side-scrollers from this scene. And yet, developer Archpray Inc. has proven that such a game can still be interesting and enjoyable with its creative puzzle-platformer, MO:Astray. Thanks to some appealing pixel art, inventive mechanics, and intensely atmospheric settings, this cerebral romp manages to stand out amongst the crowd."
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This is the third time in a row that Rayark Games releases a game with little to no fanfare or prior promotion, and that game ends up being a surprising, well-crafted gem. MO: Astray is a fantastic little indie platformer that manages to be really engaging and creepy with its storytelling, while also managing to entertain with a very unique and intuitive control scheme. It’s equal parts cute and horrifying. If it wasn’t for some really annoying difficulty spikes that show up from out of nowhere, this would have been an absolute must-have. As it stands, I still have to recommend MO: Astray to any Switch fan looking for a unique platforming fix."
