Need new feature ideas for my Platformer!

Frazzle

After doing the base groundwork for my platformer SHADE I've implemented the majority of (decent) features I've thought of and were practical, so I need some other feature ideas as I've hit a brick wall. Video of the game here:
'Gameplay features' video at http://frazz3l.tumblr.com/ (Best viewed without fullscreen)
0:02 - Ghost Block
0:06 - Laser Beam
0:19 - 'Shade Rod' and Lava
0:40 - 'Shock Rods' and Laser Beam
0:47 - All of the above
1:10 - Houdini Blocks and Sensor Beam

Any new ideas would be appreciated. FM

A few unoriginal ideas below.

Trap doors that open and close if hero is on one when its open he falls.

The usual stuff that falls down trying to squash you.

Spikes through the ground.

Something that chases you.

Thanks for the tips! I'm already working on a block that dissapears when you touch it (secret tunnels etc.) and I will get to work on the falling squashing thing...whatever that will turn out to be Cheers, FM
