  I agree this is a fascinating game. Without being too specific, there are
 a number of techniques to advance through the levels.
  
  1. Note that some boxes cannot be obtained except by FALLING THROUGH THEM.
  (if there is *positively* no way to it it usually means there is a trapdoor 
  somewhere above)

  2. Of course, you can often wait for them to bring the boxes to you (REQUIRED
  on at least one level).

  3. There are some quite incredible patterns of the blocks you need to 'zap'
  to get someplace (and again, there can be trapdoors anywhere).

  4. Ever walked on top of one of them? (that comes later)
