- Say Cheese
This achievement is missable. However, you will have three opportunities to get it; after completing normal mode (the circle when creating a new game), hardcore mode (the square when creating a new game), and in the only level of "epilogue" mode (the triangle when creating a new game; not sure what to call it). You will know you're in this level when the background is black and you can go up to even all the function keys (F8, F9, etc). Do not press the button in the initial key cell; move to the right, press the button, then go upwards to the function keys (F8 and F9 in specific). From here, instead of moving over to the left to the "esc" key (ending of a campaign), move to the right to the "F12" key. This will trigger a Steam Screenshot, which is why this achievement has the name and description it does.
If you're still having trouble figuring it out just watch my video I uploaded:

0- Mercy
This achievement is missable, and not necessarily obvious either. It's achievable in the final level, which you will have three separate opportunities to play throughout your 100%; at the end of normal mode (the circle in new game), at the end of hardcore mode (the square in new game), and in the "epilogue" thing (the triangle in new game). Instead of going all the way to the right as you normally do, go instead only to the "C" cell, and press the button. Then, go back left to the "Z" cell, and press the button in there to lock yourself in. The achievement should pop after this (you may have to wait until after you are killed).
NOTE: save data is NOT lost after doing this. So don't worry about that, it's all good 😃

0- The End Is Near
After completing the game once (as a circle), you will be placed back at the main menu. However, this is NOT the end of the game. Select "new game", then pick the square to start. This will begin hardcore mode, which is technically shorter than normal mode, but is MUCH harder (especially with the fast-paced challenges). You will need a high amount of dexterity and a great deal of practice to get through to the end, with some timing being near perfect to get.
For the pi puzzle: in normal mode, you had to select the numbers 3, 1, and 4, but in this mode you will need to select every number, 1 through 0.
Here's a guide for the dot puzzle solutions, as well as a map you can use in the last level of hardcore mode:

However, you have a second chance after your hardcore mode playthrough. Please see my other guides here on AStats to find out how to get those achievements. You will also have another opportunity in the triangle mode (epilogue thing) if you somehow miss either/both again.
Good luck! You'll need it 😃

0- keyg
After completing hardcore mode (square; unlocks after completing normal mode, which is the circle in "new game"), the game is NOT over. Select new game once again, and select the triangle (this is a sort of epilogue/finale). You will flash through every level of the game, without any play necessary, so this mode has zero challenge. You are transported to the final level automatically, and here you must simply complete it as you have completed it twice before by moving up to the "esc" key. After that, the achievement pops and you should have a pretty rewarding 100% in my opinion 😃
If you missed "Say Cheese" or "Mercy", this is your last chance to get them, as luckily for you they are both located in this final level, which happens to be the only one you play in triangle mode. See my other guides here on Steam Hunters to find out how to get these if you have not yet achieved them.
