Pixel Hunt	comment	A Pixel Hunt is an annoyingly common Fake Difficulty of graphical Adventure Games, where a hotspot or object that the player has to click on is only a few pixels in size, and hidden in the scenery. Since many such games do not tell you what is under the mouse cursor until and unless you actually click on it, this can make for frustratingly lengthy searches, or Guide Dang It! moments if the player never realizes there was an object to begin with, and thus can't solve the next puzzle. Greg Costikyan discusses this in his article on game design "I Have No Words and I Must Design": The equivalent in Interactive Fiction (text adventure) games is You Can't Get Ye Flask. The opposite is Notice This. A contributing factor behind Empty Room Psych. See also Needle in a Stack of Needles.

Pixel Hunt / int_14d99ded	comment	Professor Layton and the Curious Village's low point is searching for all of the hidden puzzles. Some of them are very easy to find and hidden on prominent things you'd search anyway... while some of them are hidden in bizarre and arbitrary places (a sliding box puzzle in the open manhole above you? What?). What makes it worse is that beating all the puzzles in the game unlocks the hardest of Layton's Challenges, the Puzzle Master's House. Hint coins are a more minor form of this trope, being optional (unless you suck at puzzles). Luckily, making the robot dog makes this much easier - he sniffs around any place a puzzle or hint coin is hidden.

Pixel Hunt / int_1543f8a	comment	In Zero Time Dilemma, the bio-lab holds a bookshelf that- if the protagonists take a closer look at it — takes up about two-thirds of the screen. All of its books are dully colored, have no visible titles, and have several nondescript cardboard boxes scattered among them. Clicking on any of those things will not help. You are supposed to click on the one piece of paper, lying atop one box, in this giant bookshelf. And may God help you, because the game's actual controls will not.

Pixel Hunt / int_1dfd3159	comment	Innocent Until Caught has obtainable objects that are literally two (VGA-)pixels small (such as a tiny piece of chewing gum under a table). Dream Web, however, ups the ante by not only having 3x3 pixel objects, but also cluttering the screen with a zillion pieces of random junk that can all be picked up... Of course, your character Ryan only has so much space in his inventory. Finding the right objects that are actually needed later can be real fun when your apartment looks like a family of bums lived there for a year... Talk about searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack. And yes, you can even pick up peas from a leftover TV dinner lying on the carpet. To be fair, in some cases, Ryan utters something like "I think I left something important here" when you want to exit a room.

Pixel Hunt / int_2dc12aeb	comment	NetHack, sort of. Instead of Pixel Hunt, there's Vibrating Square Hunt. In order to get to the final dungeon below Gehennom, you need to find and stand on a certain square on the bottom level. This wouldn't be so annoying as it is, but the level (and around the twenty previous levels before that) is a randomly-generated maze. UnNetHack makes this a bit easier by informing the player when they're a few spaces away, rather than having to step directly on it.

Coronet (the floor with the fog) that also change randomly and that can also spit out other Pokémon. But, unlike Ruby and Sapphire which has a hint towards the fact that they change at all with the trends in Dewford Town, you have no way of knowing of the tiles changing in any way or form. It doesn't help that there are times where the Feebas tiles can only be accessed by a Pokémon that knows Surf, meaning you could just as easily waste your time looking for a tile along the shore that's not even there.

The most infamous of these involve a spot of green blood on a field of green grass. The player not only isn't given any hints about this, but they also receive a Red Herring in the form of the game making you face in the complete opposite direction, where there is a corpse that all the NPCs are surrounding and commenting on the condition of. You're expected not to go with the natural assumption that you need to find a way to examine it, and instead turn 180 degrees to look at a barely noticeable puddle.

They're hidden throughout the world, and all you have to do is inspect the section of wall they're hiding in. However, there is no indication whatsoever that a pixie may be hiding in a solid brick wall/pond/pot/statue meaning the only way to find them is to search every single section of wall in the game.

Pixel Hunt / int_479c8fff	comment	Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception has the mission "In Pursuit II," where the way to unlock a custom part for your planes involves destroying certain Special Vehicles. The problem is that thanks to radar jamming that only flickers off every now and then, you mostly have to go hunt them by eyeballing. Even during the lull phases in the jamming, if you're in the wrong place to lock on you will only be able to get a rough idea of where to go. These vehicles are also quite tiny and hard to see, especially given that you can't stop and slowly sweep the ground since you're in, y'know, a plane? It also has the mission Joint Operation, where you need to hunt down transport planes with the same radar jamming. So if you aren't in a position to take advantage of the lull in jamming, you have to squint to see the targets and get them before they get away. That's before you even factor in taking down the optional ace.

The problem is that they're buried in the ground except for the tops of their heads. They are absolutely minuscule, blend in with the ground, and are indistinguishable from the numerous normal rocks except for the three hairs sticking out of their heads, which is near impossible to see at a distance. Many of them are also tucked within bushes and scrubs, which camouflage those hairs.

One of the major offenders of this trope in VLR is the binder in GAULEM Bay, which is dark grey in a black area next to a blatantly noticeable white coat, making it impossible to see if your console screen is obscured by a bright light in whatever place you're playing at.

Pixel Hunt / int_62c4e135	comment	Broken Sword, a game based on legends of the Knights Templar, was released in the United States as Circle of Blood, but has so many tiny and impossible to find things in it that it's better known as "Circle of Mouse". You (almost literally) have to move the mouse over every pixel in a picture to find something you need to continue. The Director's Cut version goes great lengths to avert this trope. As soon as the player's mouse pointer is within half-inch or so of an object that could be interacted with, that object is highlighted by blinking circles. This gives no hint about how exactly are you supposed to interact, but it does remove the "haystacks" factor almost completely.

Pixel Hunt / int_655b7465	comment	Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has several examples. There is a library filling five to ten screens, in which three individual items labeled "book" have to be found in a large generic mass labeled "books". However, it at least has a command ("What is") that displays item names when hovering the mouse over them, even before a click. Eventually the SCUMM engine would just do that all the time without a command. Even worse is right near the beginning of the game, where you need to find a piece of "sticky tape" stuck to a fallen bookshelf, as said object is only a few pixels wide. There's a puzzle towards the end that, initially, can seem even worse. Just like in the movie, the buzzsaws in the Grail temple have to be passed by kneeling...however, there is no "kneel" command. The actual solution is to click the walking cursor on a small, specific patch of ground when trying to pass through the trap's trigger zone; while this seems like unfair pixel hunting at first, it's actually a meta-puzzle. The game comes packaged with its own Grail diary, a booklet containing veiled hints on a number of game puzzles; one of the drawings in the diary is an illustration of the tunnel floor, with an X mark clearly indicating where to stand to avoid being decapitated. This is meant to be a parallel to the movie; just as Indy uses his father's diary to solve puzzles throughout the movie, the player is meant to use the diary booklet to assist in their own puzzle-solving. It doubles as a brutal piece of Copy Protection, if you give up too quickly.

Pixel Hunt / int_67005ac3	comment	Koudelka is built around a number of what some would call obtuse puzzles. Objects that can be picked up usually give some kind of visual cue such as being shiny or a different color, but other times, they're completely nondescript and look exactly like the pre-rendered background they're placed on. This devolves into the player mashing X constantly to find things that can be picked up to solve the current puzzle, sometimes rooms away with no indication of where to look. Guide Dang It!

The steps required often involve finding obscure pages by clicking tiny oft-unmarked sections of other pages; the Altador plot, for instance, requires clicking tiny unmarked one-pixel areas in several places and a tiny randomized window at the coliseum (the latter of which requires the player to click all of the many, many windows one at a time until they find the one where an NPC is hiding, after which it gets re-randomized). Mercifully, completing plots is optional.

Mass Effect 3: The third game incorporates a scanner which can detect pixel-width objects of interest in a solar system.

The seeds can be pretty hard to spot unless you're deliberately scanning for them or have a close zoom, and of course they're hard to click on. And don't think you can get away with ignoring them - there are a fair number of in-game challenges that require plants grown from special found seeds, so you're going to have to start picking them up sooner or later. The saving grace is the Collection Helper lifetime reward, which makes the collectible seeds, bugs, fish and rocks show up on the map and give off a highly visible glow. Plus, it's usable by everyone in that household once you've gotten it.

It's a rather low-budget game, and gameplay outside of cutscenes is represented as a series of 2-D sketches. Usually there isn't a "before and after" for picking up an item—the item simply doesn't appear on-screen, and you have to use the "look" command on every single object to tell whether, say, there's a key stuck in the middle of those chain links. To make matters worse, there's no visual distinction between items that can be "looked" at and background items that give a generic "there's nothing here" message.

Pixel Hunt / int_86814e56	comment	Final Fantasy VI has the Optional Boss Deathgaze. He's hidden in random locations on the world map, but is notorious to find due to being invisible. He doesn't have an overworld model, so your best chance of finding him is flying around and hoping that you get lucky. There are over 4000 tiles on the map. Deathgaze is on one of them. As if to rub salt in the wound, he runs away after each battle, meaning you have to relocate him all over again, slowly whittling down his HP until he's weak enough to kill. Note that the recommended method of finding him is to turn the ship exactly 100% facing North, and pushing the bare minimum left or right just once, and then moving straight ahead along that path. The very slightest deviation towards the East or West will cause the ship to gradually shift its course over a matter of time. A matter of time meaning doing nothing else for maybe 10-15 minutes while searching for him, and if you somehow get off track, starting over again. You have to do this each time you want to fight him, and it will probably take 3-4 fights to finally whittle down his HP.

You don't have to find them to beat the game, but it's still a huge Guide Dang It! quest. You do get an item that lets you know that there's a hidden chest nearby, but you still have to hunt it down yourself. One of these chests, found early in the game, cannot be collected except that one time in a game, because you have to ride on a Toad's head to jump to a ledge that even Super Mario cannot reach without adding that Toad's height to his jump height. This is long before you get the item that alerts you to hidden chests, meaning that if you missed it that first time, every time you walk through that hallway the thing goes off, and you can literally jump in every square you can reach and not find the chest.

The player has to pick up a sprite and drop it on a hotspot to get a particular reaction, such as starting a villager working on a task. This is even harder than clicking on the hotspot, since when clicking, the cursor gives a more accurate indication of screen position. The hotspots in the ports to iOS Games and Android Games are possibly even more difficult to find than in games played on desktop or laptop computers because of the smaller touch screens.

So you'll be kicking the wall all over the place and still not knowing if you're kicking the wrong spot or if you just haven't gotten the timing down. The fluff makes the clue particularly unhelpful — Mo mentions that she used this guideline when she was six, so you're trying to kick spots on the wall where the crack matches the eyeline of a little kid. The crack that's supposed to point you at the right spot to kick lines up with your own, grown-up, six-foot-tall eyeline.

Pixel Hunt / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind The first mission of the main quest sends you to a bandit-infested Dwemer ruin to search for a particular Dwemer Cube. The cube is small, dull in color, and sits on the corner of a bottom shelf in a dimly lit room, which makes missing it very easy. One side quest asks you to retrieve a ring that has been dropped into a small body of water. It can be tricky to spot even under good light conditions, so good luck if you happen upon this quest at night or during a rain storm. (Your character needing to periodically surface for air doesn't help matters.) On the Odai Plateau, there is an Ebony Shortsword available which has clipped through some boulders and is only barely visible. The only Daedric Right Pauldron available in the game (without killing Divayth Fyr) is found in the Castle Karstaag tower, barely visible in an ice crevice. In Oblivion, the useful enchanted helmet Fin Gleam is on the seabed off the coast of Anvil. Even if you know where to look, actually finding it can be a challenge in itself. In Skyrim, some enemies have the ability to disarm your character and send their weapon flying in a random direction. Depending on the angle of the attack and the geometry of the room, it might be right by your feet where you'd expect it, off in some dimly-lit corner obscured by a pile of items, or it might have clipped through a floor or wall and be irretrievable. Many players choose to Save Scum when facing these enemies rather than futz with it.

Pixel Hunt / int_9f89a5f0	comment	Pokémon: Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire introduces two more additions to its Magikarp Power roster with Feebas and Milotic, which is basically what you'd get if Gyarados was a special attacker instead of a physical attacker. What qualifies Feebas for this trope is that it can only be found by fishing in six randomly changing tiles that can just as easily spit out other Pokémon, so even if you found one of the tiles, you wouldn't know you found it since you're more likely to fish up a Magikarp. This was mitigated in the remakes, where you can also fish under the bridge near the Weather Institute in the day or by fishing northwest of an NPC at night to guarantee a Feebas all the time, making Shiny hunts so much easier. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Feebas can only be found by fishing in four tiles of the pond in Floor B1F of Mt. Coronet (the floor with the fog) that also change randomly and that can also spit out other Pokémon. But, unlike Ruby and Sapphire which has a hint towards the fact that they change at all with the trends in Dewford Town, you have no way of knowing of the tiles changing in any way or form. It doesn't help that there are times where the Feebas tiles can only be accessed by a Pokémon that knows Surf, meaning you could just as easily waste your time looking for a tile along the shore that's not even there. Pokémon Sword and Shield has the Alolan Diglett retrieval sidequest in the Isle of Armor, in which said Diglett have buried themselves all over the island and nearby islands, and you have to find them. The problem is that they're buried in the ground except for the tops of their heads. They are absolutely minuscule, blend in with the ground, and are indistinguishable from the numerous normal rocks except for the three hairs sticking out of their heads, which is near impossible to see at a distance. Many of them are also tucked within bushes and scrubs, which camouflage those hairs. There are also 151 of them tucked away all over the area, and there is no radar to find them nor any set pattern to follow other than that they're not in the water or within artificial structures.

You shrink yourself to get a better view, and the end result isn't quite as bad as it sounds because you know you have to look for them in the first place, they're shiny, distinctly off-color with the rest of the screen, and are 3x3 instead of one pixel, and the game is old enough that individual pixels are still pretty big and noticeable. Later on though, you're thrown in a jail cell and have to Pixel Hunt a nail lodged in the wall. Unlike the previous example, you don't know you have to be looking for it in the first place, it's almost the same color as the rest of the blank wall, it is exactly one pixel, and the first several times you click on it nothing noticeable happens because it's stuck and you have to wiggle it out with several clicks.

Worse, the game's navigation is similar to Myst, so even with a walkthrough it can be hard to understand what section of the room you're being directed towards. Adding insult to injury is that the room's central puzzle is childishly simple ... once you've pixel hunted up the six pieces to it. The dark setting of Virtue's Last Reward makes some items in puzzle rooms go unnoticeable or plain invisible, which will drag on the investigation and create much frustration because one of the features of its predecessor yields a yellow outline whenever you click something examinable, and in this installment it's gone. One of the major offenders of this trope in VLR is the binder in GAULEM Bay, which is dark grey in a black area next to a blatantly noticeable white coat, making it impossible to see if your console screen is obscured by a bright light in whatever place you're playing at. There's also the shelf in the Laboratory, which has tons of bottles and beakers and only half of them are useful, yet you can't tell which is which until you click on every one of them. In Zero Time Dilemma, the bio-lab holds a bookshelf that- if the protagonists take a closer look at it — takes up about two-thirds of the screen. All of its books are dully colored, have no visible titles, and have several nondescript cardboard boxes scattered among them. Clicking on any of those things will not help. You are supposed to click on the one piece of paper, lying atop one box, in this giant bookshelf. And may God help you, because the game's actual controls will not.

Pixel Hunt / int_bca72091	comment	In Animal Crossing: Finding some bugs is like this. If you don't pay close attention to some aspects, you won't notice the extremely small ladybug or snail on a flower, and if you get too close they run away. And snails are hard to notice, because they only appear on rainy days where the sky is darker and less vivid, making the snail practically invisible. There's also the walking stick, which has camouflage skills so advanced it fades in and out of reality on trees, unless you see its tiny shadow. And, since the game works in real time, if you miss it you can have to wait MONTHS to get it again. The mosquito. This one makes an obnoxious sound, but is literally so small that when you catch it with your net and your character holds it up in the air, it literally makes a red circle around it to show that your character isn't holding nothing. And if you miss the mosquito and it bites you, it goes away, making you have to search more. Animal Crossing really has a ton of these. There's also fleas, which are indicated by tiny dots occasionally coming from your neighbors' heads. Though their Verbal Tic will change if you talk to them into saying things like "itchy" and "bzt" if you talk to them.

On the bright side, your cursor will "stick" to items when you move over them.

Pixel Hunt / int_bff01809	comment	The early Warhammer video game Shadow of the Horned Rat features magic items lying around some of the battle maps that you can pick up and use. The problem? These items are represented by a single pixel that occasionally turns white. Pretty much the only way to discover them is by chance (and some of them are hidden well out of the way), and once a unit has picked one up, it's stuck with it, thus usually rendering the item useless anyway. Frustrating? Oh my yes.

Pixel Hunt / int_c3176ee4	comment	Torin's Passage, a Sierra adventure game developed by Al Lowe, features one scene with this trope implemented quite literally; it involves locating a pixel-sized glint that occasionally flashes on the screen, and in the middle of a maze, at that. And the game's hint system is no help; it merely tells you to look for the glint on the screen... The game also has another example of a pixel hunt; at another point there is a moss-covered slope that is extremely slick (and yes the game does use the associated pun), and if you attempt to climb it you fall off and die. You can enlist the help of the nearby grass to tell you places that are safe to go to, but the grass only tells you where a safe spot is while your cursor is on it, and the safe spots are ludicrously small as well as visually indistinguishable from the rest of the slope. Add this to the fact that you have to find six or seven spots to cross the slope, constantly assaulted by the grass's high-pitched cries of "not there" and "no", hoping for the occasional "yes", it makes for an extremely frustrating experience. Al Lowe has no idea how to play Hot and Cold, apparently. A review showed a screenshot of this game captioned, "See that wrench? Neither did we. For three hours."

Pixel Hunt / int_cc1bf35b	comment	The Monkey Island series has some fun with this trope. But like all latter-day LucasArts games, it displays item names when you hover the mouse on them. In the first game, you're required to get a rubber chicken to go somewhere. The problem? It blends in with "cursed" chickens the player character says something to the effect of "I'm not going near those" if clicked on the wrong one. Thankfully, this was fixed in the special edition. In the second game you are, at one point, completely in the dark. It turns out there's a light switch on the wall. The problem is, both the room and the switch are completely black, and thus invisible. In the hard version of the second game (and the only version of the special edition) you at one point have to pick up a piece of string that blends in perfectly with the mise-en-scene. In the third game, if you carefully move your cursor over every pixel in the Plunder Island beach area, you can locate a "secret button" hidden inside a column on a bridge. Pushing this button remotely activates the nearby fort's cannons, which is absolutely useless but, according to Threepwood, "fun". Also in the third game, repeatedly using the beach water on Blood Island will make Guybrush get in, and appear in the water scene from the first game. You only get a brief look before Guybrush comes out again. Afterwards, you can click on a certain spot in the water to go under and have a proper look. There's only about a 3 pixel square to click on. There's a lucky penny hidden on Lucre Island in the fourth game. You have to run to an area of the city that you've got no business being in and carefully walk around until Guybrush is standing right next to it, facing in exactly the right direction. It's been glued to the ground.

Most commands are available via icons in the top panel (similar to the panel in Sierra VGA adventures), but it is possible to give commands by clicking objects in your command centre and in a ship's cockpit. The former is just a gimmick, because all commands are also available from the top panel. But the latter does not have panel icons for commands, giving the player a few awkward minutes to figure how to use the cockpit. There are many buttons, levers and indicators, but only one joystick and one lever actually work.

There's absolutely no indication to searching eyes where it is- you only know you've found it when a dialog box pops up saying you just did.

Pixel Hunt / int_d54469f8	comment	The Kirby series does this ever so occasionally. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land has numerous hidden doors which you have to find to finish the game 100%. One of them is a little red star, no more than 5x5 pixels, which looks like just another star in the outer space backdrop. It helps slightly that the checkerboard pattern of the blocks is missing a block for that spot, and that it moves with the camera. That this is a remake of Kirby's Adventure doesn't help. The example is the same, but some of the other secrets were actually changed so they can't just be remembered. There is also a secret entrance into the stage 7-2 Boss Rush tower of mid-bosses that starts you several floors up. You'd never know you could go through it because it's barred. Kirby Super Star, in both incarnations, has a hidden planet in the Milky Way Wishes section that can only be found by moving over a specific star in a far off section of the screen, which you can't normally see because the screen pans. The planet's name doesn't show up the first time you select it, either. It's where the Copy Essence Deluxe for Copy is found and the only way to get 100%, making it a Last Lousy Point.

This one's pretty easy though, considering the (primitive) engine makes every hotspot at least 8x8 pixels in size. An odd example happens in the NES adaptation, where if you happen to click on a specific unmarked spot on the column next to the security door on the second floor you will find a keypad, and you're not likely to find it unless you know it's there or are just randomly clicking everything. However, no matter what you type the mansion will explode a minute later (data miners have confirmed there is no correct code), so it's actually good it's so hard to find.

For the most part, clues in the Ace Attorney series are quite obvious, with only a few hidden. The point of the game isn't to hide the clues, but hide their meanings, after all.

What qualifies Feebas for this trope is that it can only be found by fishing in six randomly changing tiles that can just as easily spit out other Pokémon, so even if you found one of the tiles, you wouldn't know you found it since you're more likely to fish up a Magikarp. This was mitigated in the remakes, where you can also fish under the bridge near the Weather Institute in the day or by fishing northwest of an NPC at night to guarantee a Feebas all the time, making Shiny hunts so much easier.

Pixel Hunt / int_f6b79960	comment	While Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors is usually very good about avoiding this, with only important objects reacting to clicks, one room is a big exception to this — the Library. Nearly every section of the enormous bookshelves is interactable, but only a tiny handful serve any purpose and there are no visual clues at all. Worse, the game's navigation is similar to Myst, so even with a walkthrough it can be hard to understand what section of the room you're being directed towards. Adding insult to injury is that the room's central puzzle is childishly simple ... once you've pixel hunted up the six pieces to it.

Pixel Hunt / int_fd350996	comment	The released-without-being-finished add-on to Ultima VII Part II: Serpent's Isle, The Silver Seed, has the most powerful item in the game — a ring that makes spell components unnecessary — hidden on a dead monster that can barely be seen under an avalanche in a section of the dungeon that seems to go nowhere. Even knowing the area to look in, it's hard to find find it until you look at a screenshot.

Pixel Hunt / int_fe969c39	comment	Lost Relics in Goddess of Victory: NIKKE are frustratingly hard to find. The game immediately stops being kind once the tutorial for them is over and starts sticking them behind pieces of scenery where the only way to know that there is something hidden is to look for the tiniest of moving sparks emanating from behind the foreground.
