    Done, amazing, loved every minute of the 2 hours and 30 minutes it took me to finish it. Well worth the 1200 points it cost.
     
    I do have one question though. Those little glowy orb things; I picked up a couple and each time I did I was awarded with an achievement. However, one little glowy orb:
     

     
    Hope that kinda explains where I was, anyone know what it does?

    i dunno, there's another orb that gives no achievement in the cog section. i think they probably contribute to your completion rate in the leaderboard?

    also got that orb (after a looong stretch of failure)  thinking it was the ' Going Up' achievement but it wasn't. I thought it was a bug and the achievement didn't trigger but you unlock that one later in the game. 
    So as   delicious_lie thinks, it must be related to the completion % of the game

    Turns out it is just related to your % completion, the non-achievement based orbs seem to add 1%. (Edit: thanks Timing) I think 105% is max according to the leaderboards.

    Right now the number 1 guy on the leaderboards has 105% completion.
     
    Makes me wonder what the actual total completion percentage is, and how long it'll take before someone has it. I predict about... 4 days.

    @JessicaBoo:  Right, when standing on the upper platform with your first box, you need to send the lift down, put your first box on top of it, send the lift up, use the box to jump to the left where you'll find the puzzle to get the second box.
     
    To get this box, turn the gravity in its room off, till it hits the top left of its room, then turn the gravity back on, it'll hit the floor and begin to slide toward you, turn the gravity off again and it should float toward you a bit, don't leave the gravity off too long or it'll stick to the roof again, keep turning the gravity on and off until it's out of the room. Then push it all the way to the right until it gets blocked by something.
     
    Return to the section that lets you flip the stage upside down and flip it. Travel to the left, where you just were to claim the second box. Now, position one box to fall on the moving block just as it begins to pop out, and the other box on the lower area at the extent of the moving block. Quickly flip the stage to the right way up again, jumping from the first box, to the moving block, to the second box, to where you need to be. Hope that helps.
     
    @medina09: To get the egg, do the above, but use the moving platform to stack one box atop the other, then flip the world again. Then push the stacked boxes all the way to the left, using them to climb up and get the egg. THEY WILL FALL OFF OF EACH OTHER A LOT. PREPARE FOR ANNOY.

    I'm at 72% where there are gravity switches and a thing on a wire with a rope, you need to switch gravity upwards to get the thing to your side of the chasm and switch it again to ride it down, haven't got a clue how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.
     
    EDIT: Got it, nevermind.

    @ medina09 I was doing the same thing for about 30 mins last night!  Grabbing onto the side of that box as I hit the switch spinning and spinning and spinning it!  I was so frustrated!
