'''Astralith''' is a [[Update 2.2|2.2]] Easy Demon mega-collaboration level published by Arclia. Being the first Mythic-rated classic level, Astralith received acclaim from players for its art and usage of 2.2 effects.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwpdNDYZRbA</ref> Astralith is the fifth and final level of the [[Gauntlets|Forest Gauntlet]].

==Description==
*'''0-6%:''' Astralith begins with a simple robot section, where the player must jump over two rocks.
*'''6-11%:''' Using the robot, the player hops onto a cart with a potion. After taking the potion, the player transforms into a swing, needing to avoid floating rocks. The player then converts into a cube and heads into a forest-like area.
*'''11-17%:''' A straightforward cube section with sightread-able gameplay. At 16%, the player stands on a podium and teleports from a light beam.
*'''17-23%:''' The player is teleported into a church-like structure, using the wave to avoid floating blocks. The player then converts back into a cube and jumps over spikes.
*'''23-34%:''' The player falls and transforms into a robot, jumping over tight gaps and converting back into a cube to use orbs to progress, followed by a ship section where the player must fly through tight spaces, ending with tricky UFO timings as the player boards a paper swan.
*'''34-39%:''' After the cube alights from the swan, the player transforms into a swing, needing to avoid red flowers that would kill upon impact. The player then transforms into a cube and a ball.
*'''39-45%:''' A simple cube section follows, leading to a transition with the ship flying over a pond.
*'''45-50%:''' After transitioning into a robot, the player quickly turns back into a cube, with egg-like structures and mountains in the background.
*'''50-57%:''' A ball and UFO section follows in a garden-like setting decorated with lanterns and cherry blossoms.
*'''57-62%:''' The screen fades to a wooden-gear section, where the player navigates a spider section, traversing tricky platforms.
*'''62-69%:''' After ascending as a cube via an invisible platform, the player traverses a white structure adorned with lanterns, moss, and plants, using both the cube and ship.
*'''69-74%:''' The player uses the cube and ship to dash through rocks with runes, where flowers grow as they progress.
*'''74-79%:''' After getting sucked into a portal, the player is launched onto a train surrounded by wizards, using orbs to climb atop the train, where a bright star is revealed.
*'''79-86%:''' This section is entirely auto, with winged creatures carrying the player through a town, destroying a crystal that breaks the portal they went through. The winged creatures then drop the player off in a forest filled with fairies.
*'''86-100%:''' The player traverses the forest, using the cube and robot to avoid red flowers while fairies rest on blue flowers. The player enters a broken home and meets a smiling fairy, displaying the level's title at the end.
