Puzzle platformer where a skater switches between 2D and 3D views to crack inventive levels. The concept stays clever and the dreamlike world charms, even if camera quirks and shaky collisions betray its PSP origin under the polish.

Nightmare Puzzle - Crush 3D (3DS) price, value & rarity
A clever puzzler where you flatten the world into 2D to slip past obstacles you can't clear in 3D, an idea as original as it is brain-bending. A lackluster port of a sharper PSP game, this 3DS version suffered from tepid production. Even so, fans of spatial puzzles and devious concepts will find plenty to chew on.
