Poor Image: Fake Difficulty

Go To

Going by the image, it looks like an unconventional form of difficulty, but it also looks like calling it "fake" difficulty might be pushing it. Here's an alternative.

The suggestion can be solved with one of the two latter options here. If assumed to be solvable, it's a Moon Logic Puzzle, which doesn't fit the definition. If it's not solvable, it's would be a form of Unwinnable, but that trope doesn't actually allow examples that are completely unwinnable to begin with. Unwinnable Joke Game, on the other hand, fits, but that's a different trope.

The current is probably a form of Camera Screw, since the angle makes it very hard to see where you're supposed to jump. Depth isn't something that's easy to see on a 2D screen. It's at least part of the definition of the trope.

Suggestion is about five steps below the current. Keep until better image is suggested.

Current's image quality is low enough that I'd rather just pull it. (I brought it up in the general thread and apparently a higher quality rip doesn't exist.) I could take or leave the suggestion.

The current probably needs to be removed due to quality issues, but I don't think the OP's suggestion is a viable alternative.

I say pull the current simply because the caption has to explain it.

I'm also against the OP's suggestion here. The trope is Fake Difficulty, not any form of Unwinnable. [tdown]

  • However, that is a great picture for Unwinnable Joke Game, and it is probably better that that trope's current. Discuss it there though.

These two may literally be more bark than bite, but they are no less tenacious than everyone else.

I have no idea what the current is showing, so I say pull; I'm not sure if the suggestion is an example though, as above it seems more like some form of Unwinnable.

Pull. Not seeing a replacement candidate yet.

That looks like an image for Unwinnable or something.

Judging by the page description, there are way too many ways for this trope to be implemented, so I'm voting BUPKIS.

Spiral out, keep going.

It's difficult to search for an image for this, but I don't think it's impossible. I'm not convinced that all the ways to convey this is already something else. That said (cough), the current seems to be Interface Screw, even though I know it isn't really (because I'm kind of familiar with the game).

Pull regardless of replacement.

Well, it's been a dozen days. Anyone else have suggestions, or thoughts on the current ones?

Been another 6 days still. Do we have permission to pull the current?

The pic's pulled and the page is tagged; locking up.
