Gameplay

• 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. This is 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.
• 34-40%: 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 ball.
• 41-45%: A simple cube section follows, leading to a transition with the ship flying over a pond.
• 46-50%: After transitioning into a robot, the player quickly turns back into a cube, with egg-like structures and mountains in the background.
• 51-56%: A ball and UFO section follows in a garden-like setting decorated with lanterns and cherry blossoms.
• 57-61%: 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.
• 70-73%: 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.
• 80-86%: 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.
• 87-100%: 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.
