Broken puzzle?
In one of the final puzzles, after the last space-walk between the red lights, to the large room open to spce and with the 'buzzing' anomalies, there seems to me to be a bug: an area is blocking both clones and swapping, where it should only block swapping (it should be red instead of magenta).

See this screenshot: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=238839142

All the guides I checked so far have the magenta section above the button red. I can't find a solution for this puzzle with the magenta section.

Have the same problem. Was going crazy, then i saw in a video that the pink light should be red.

EDIT: Finally, 1:58:40

This reminds me of those DRM schemes making puzzles unsolvable if you have a pirated copy. Just one problem: I "own" it. (as much as you can "own" any game in the steam library)

That light was supposed to be red? Huh. Well, when I played through it looked exactly like you're showing it, and I found a solution. Let me see if I can explain it. If you don't want it to be spoiled, just know that it definitely can be solved, but it's a little tricky. If you don't care, then read on.

Solution:
1. Flip upside-down and make a clone on the button to the right of the blue light. Switch to it.
2. Walk to the left, stopping before reaching the end of the platform. Make another clone on the button (right where you made the last one) and switch to it.
3. Walk to the left again and make a clone on top of the button. Do not switch to it.
REVIEW - There should be three clones (plus the one left in the tunnel at the beginning): One upside-down on the button, and two toward the top-left/bottom/left of the screen.
4. Walk off the platform (falling up), hit the gravity changer, and absorb the two clones next to you. Walk against the left wall until the upside-down clone gets closer to the edge of the platform.
5. Make a second clone (right-side up) on top of the platform, directly above the first clone.
6. Walk to the right until both clones are on the buttons.
7. Create a clone directly above the orb. Switch to it immediately upon creation.
8. Feel awesome.

I already tried your solution, but somehow couldn't make it work. I'll give it another go and report back.

OK. You were right. Thanks for the solution! I guess I was just too tired. I can't explain the videos though.

Ya it took me a while but i was able to solve this puzzle after a little while even with the magenta over the button. Good luck to you. If you need help i suppose i could show you.

I think I have an easier way:
Solution:
1. Flip upside-down and make a clone on the button to the right of the blue light. Swap to it.
2. Now, run to the left, jumping so that the one you're inside continues all the way to the left, allowing the other one to flip rightside-up, and jumping again so that the bottom guy can go all the way to the left. Jump to absorb the two clones.
3. Jump back onto the ledge and make a clone in the red zone, allowing it to hit the gravity flip and fall down.
4. Swap with it. Now, make a clone on top of the ledge that is precisely above the guy upside-down under the ledge.
5. Walk so both those guys are on the buttons, and shoot and swap to a clone above the enneagon.

Similar idea to david, but you save a clone. So perhaps it's the more moral thing to do. This puzzle was by far the hardest! If only we could :p2blue: :D

That puzzle was stupid-hard :p Was the only one I had to take a break away from and come back to do it later.
I actually thought this one was pretty easy, but one puzzle had my number about 3 or so back. It was the one the buttons on either side of these small platforms.
I managed to beat this one in a really stupid way:

I flipped upside-down and stood directly over the 2 buttons and managed to make a clone in mid-air slightly to the right of the button then immediately run left so the clone fell on the button so that I was actually to the left of the clone (this took a few tries and needed pixel-perfect precision). Then I touched the edge of the gravity flip (my clone barely stayed on the platform), placed the upright clone on the platform, walked them over to the buttons, and then swapped into the pit. I guess I forgot that clone chains are useful.

Have this stupid purple light too. Not red. Hate this

the puzzle is doable with the purple light, you're not supposed to clone yourself in that area, there is another way..

haha. This is the only puzzle I couldn't figure out on my own.

That's not a bug. Haven't finish the game yet, but this puzzle was the hardest so far. I've spent almost 3 hours on it :Raider:
