The puzzling items of Crush

Sega has released a new video, and a few tidbits about their upcoming PSP-exclusive Crush in their latest press release. Considering how awesome the game looks, I can't really complain. The video showcases some of the truly surreal puzzles you'll be tackling in this dimension-bending puzzler/platformer. The puzzles themselves are based on a few unique items, described after the break.



BLOCK TYPES
Solid Blocks: Can be stood on, but not walked through. Danny cannot crush against solid blocks.
Hollow Blocks: Can be stood on and walked through. These are the only blocks Danny can cross in a top-down crush.
Ghost Blocks: Can't be stood on but can be walked and fallen through. Ghost blocks will appear as holes through the ground in a top-down crush.
Moving Blocks: Very useful for helping to get to otherwise inaccessible parts of levels. Sometimes hidden switches will activate moving blocks, so Danny must keep an eye out for them.
Fragile Blocks: Will appear to be a cracked and pitted solid block, but will crumble away quickly if Danny puts any weight on it.

BOULDERS
Danny has the power to push these around levels and there are a variety of them: Balls, Rollers, Octaballs and Octorollers. Interestingly, the Rollers and Octorollers have ghost variations and can be crushed to create 2D tunnels through solid objects.
