Get Your Ducks in a Row

Do Something Weird Achievements:

There are a handful of achievements in Viewfinder that just require you to do something in any level.

There is a digital cat with the prompt "press E to pet" over top of him. — Pet that, Cait!

Battered by a Battery Drop a battery onto your head.
No Way Out! Break the only teleporter, oops!
No copycaits! Try duplicating Cait; try taking a photo of Cait. He won’t show up in any of the photos.

Achievements that Require a Certain Level in Viewfinder

Contactless

Complete the third level without touching the battery. In Chapter 1, Level 1.3, players need to put the second photo, one of the tables and chairs and palm trees, upside down over the charging plate. This will allow the battery to fall onto the plate without you touching it.

An upside-down photo is over a teleporter charging plate. — This should work.

Recursion excursion

Place the recursive photo 15 times. In Chapter 1, Level 2.3, players will find this recursive photo.

A room with a canvas and some trees is repeated several times. — Just put the same photo down 15 times.

Everything in its right place

Put the three paintings where they belong. This has to be done in Chapter 1, Level 3.1.

A room has a counter with many objects on it, three of those being little paintings of objects. A set of stairs leads up to a teleporter. — Pick up the three pictures here.

Each corner is a photo that is being lined up with the real life counterpart. — Line up each of the photos with a real-life item.

I fold

Put down both playing cards. These cards can be found in Chapter 2, Level 1.3. Look at the table near the three screens.

A couple of playing cards sit on a table next to a journal and some empty coffee mugs. — Pick these both up and place them anywhere.

I bee-t the game!

Grow the flower to attract a bee. This is in Chapter 2, Level 2.3. First, pick up the Tomodachi game, then place it.

Next to a computer on a desk, there is a pink Tomogachi looking game. — Pick the game up from the desk and place it.

Next, alternately hit the music, water, and sunlight buttons until the flower grows up.

A large pink Gameboy looking game has three buttons, one with a music note, one with a sun, and one with a water drop. The screen is a single color pixelated picture of a flower being shined on by a sun. — Keep alternately pressing them until the flower looks like this.

Once the flower is fully grown, just do the cycle of buttons again, and the bee should show up. This the bee you need to finish this achievement.

Fool me twice

Get tricked twice in Chapter 2, Level 2.1. First, let the battery fall into the hole, then place the photo with the battery over the hole. Then, line up the battery photo and break the battery sitting over the hole.

Battery of Batteries

Make the maximum possible number of batteries in the first camera level, which is Chapter 3, Level 1.1.

A massive pile of batteries sits on a teleporter's charge plate. — Take a photo of the battery, then put the copy next to the new battery. Take a photo of those two batteries, then place all four next to one another. Keep doing this until all five photos are gone.

Nope bridge

A floating island of a room contains a ringing phone. On the roof of this room is a living room setup, complete with side tables and a TV and a sofa. — Head to the roof of this little island here.

Break the cartoon rope bridge in Chapter 3, Level 2.2. Build a bridge over to the room with the ringing phone in it, then build a bridge up to the roof of that building. On top of the roof is a living room setup; there is a photo on the TV.

A cartoon bridge painting is overtop the screen of a TV. — Pick up the Photo that is over the screen of this TV.

Pick it up, place it, then take a photo and use the new photo to cut the bridge in half.

A black and white photo of the sky has been overlaid a rope bridge, which is now cut in half and dangling. — And that’s all for that rope bridge!

Dustinvasion!

Make an army of Dustins. There are two levels players can do this in, but I think it is easier in Chapter 3, Level 2.3. When starting the level, head forward past the stairs going up and take the stairs going down. There is a Dustin that you can take photos of and keep replicating until you have a whole army of Dustins.

A whole bunch of Roomba-like vacuum robots are cleaning up all over the floor. — A whole army of Roombas!

Dustin? More like Dust-off!

Drop Dustin off the level. Pick up Dustin in Chapter 3, Level 2.3 and toss him off into the void.

You monster

Slice a Dustin with a photo in either Chapter 3, Level 2.3 or. Just cut that little robot in half!

Hitching a ride

A happy birthday card with balloons on it hangs on a cork board. — Pick this up, then place it under your feet.

In order to ride a balloon challenge, players will need to pick up the Happy Birthday card off of the corkboard in the office of Chapter 3, Level 3.2.

The Birthday card has replaced the floor, and I am now standing on a balloon. — And ride it up!

Place it on the floor under your feet, then stand on one of the balloons.

To reach new heights!

Get the jump power-up in Chapter 3, Level 2.5.

An arrow points to a table off in the distance. — There is a table over here with two photos on it.

Pick up the one to the left side of the table; it looks like a jumping level with a white box in the centre. This is the jump power-up. Walk through the white box to pick it up.

An Megaman-style jumping puzzle is in the center of the platform. It contains several surfaces and boxes to jump on with a white cube in the center of it. — Jump up there and get it!

Low orbit

Get multiple jump powerups in Chapter 3, Level 2.5. Do the same thing as above, but take some photos of the jump boost the copy it. Be wary, though; with enough of these jumping boosts, you can crash into the top of the skybox!

That’s something I can get behind!

Get behind the waterfall in Chapter 3, Level 5.3. Up above the teleporter is a little sitting room. There is a photo on the table there; pick it up.

A photo of an old-school video game level sits on a coffee table. — It looks a lot like another photo from another level, doesn’t it?

Place the photo so it is basically underneath your feet, then fall into it. Look for the waterfall’s base, then walk into it for a wonderful surprise.

Liberate the Dustins!

Also, in Chapter 3, Level 5.3, you can release all the blueprint Dustins. Pick up the blueprints and place them to release the three blueprint Dustins!

Three blueprints for a Roomba-like machine sit on a table. — They are on a table to the left of the teleporter.

Scream Orchestra

Make a choir of screaming people in Chapter 4, Level 6.2.

A break in the wall shows a small sitting room hiding in a level. — Head into that little room with the posters, then pick up the painting The Scream.

A whole bunch of copies of The Scream by Edvard Munch scream in chorus. — Make more of these until you get the achievement.

Michelangelo

Carve the melon in Chapter 4, Level 9.1 more than once.

A watermelon sits on a gray floor. — Use the photos to slice into the melon several times.

Green is not a creative colour

A screencap of a desktop sits on a table. — Pick this up and place it.

Draw using the green pencil. In Chapter 4, Level 6.6, look for a photo of an old-school computer desktop. After placing it, choose the color green and draw a picture on the MSPaint-looking window.

A floating MS Paint screen has a selection of several colors to draw with. A cat in a shark costume sits behind the draw Pad. — Just doodle anything in green.

Bark Code

A giant barcode rests on a table, and a prompt says you can pick it up. — The barcode is located here.

Go for a walk in the Barcode Forest in Chapter 5, Level 1.2. There is a barcode on one of the tables; pick it up, place it, and then walk around inside it.

The lines of a bar code have turned into a forest. — It’s kind of nice in here.

Breaking wind

Break the windmill inside the painting in Chapter 5, Level 2.3. There is a painting to the right of the starting spot, down the stairs, next to the photocopier. Use a photo to break the windmill.
