Crush is a 2007 platform-puzzle game developed by Zoe Mode for the PlayStation Portable. Players control Danny, a young man experiencing chronic insomnia who resorts to an experimental device to venture into his own subconscious. Each stage represents a fragment of Danny's memories and inner life, drawing visual and conceptual inspiration from artists such as Tim Burton and M.C. Escher. The central mechanic involves navigating these surreal mental landscapes to collect Danny's scattered marbles and other lost thoughts. Progression requires players to manipulate perspective by shifting between two-dimensional and three-dimensional views of the environment — a technique called "crushing" — which fundamentally changes how platforms and obstacles relate to one another, making spatial reasoning the core of every puzzle. The game's dreamlike aesthetic and psychological premise distinguish it from conventional platformers of the era.
