Passive Achievments
These achievements will be completed as you play while chasing the other achievements.
So, you don't need to pay attention to them.

High Score! and BIG SCORE
For these two achievements, you need to reach a certain score. The exact score is currently unknown to me, but it is set low enough that they will be 100% achieved while chasing the pro achievement Goobered.

BALLS
For this achievement, a certain number of balls need to be dropped. The exact number is currently unclear, but it is also set low enough that this achievement will be earned very early on as you play.

GOOBER
To unlock this achievement, you need to create the biggest ball. Since this ball is required for other achievements, it will be unlocked along the way.

Lotta Balls
For this achievement, you need to have at least one of each ball version present at the same time. This achievement will also be unlocked automatically as you progress.

Active Achievements
In this section, I will explain the achievements that should be actively chased, as they are very unlikely to be obtained casually.

BIG COMBO
To achieve this one, you need to score a 15x Combo.
Since combos are time-limited, you don’t have much time to think and must drop the next Gooba Ball within a few seconds.
It’s beneficial to create large combo chains (meaning you achieve multiple combos with a single drop) or ensure that each of your Gooba Balls merges directly with another.

There are two tactics to simplify this achievement:

1) Space-Spam: At the start of the round, simply hold down the Space key. The Gooba Balls will fall faster after some time, and eventually, you may achieve high combos and, with a bit of luck, even a 15x combo.

Important: Release the Space key when the Gooba Balls touch the line, as the achievement only pops up once you let go. The combo won’t count if you lose before releasing.


2) Gooba-Row: At the beginning of the round, place the Goobas in a row from left to right. Start on the left and place larger ones on the right.

When the floor is full of Goobas, you should ideally merge every first or second drop, making it easy to reach a 15x combo.

Important: Due to the time limit, you cannot think too long and must drop the Gooba Balls quickly to prevent a non-merge from breaking the combo. Make sure a second subsequent Gooba Ball can still contribute to the combo.

Goobered (Pro Achievement)
For this achievement, you must merge two Goober-Gooba Balls (the largest ones), which will then disappear from the playing field. This achievement is quite challenging to obtain and may take a long time to unlock.

Here are some tips to make unlocking the achievement easier:

1) Zone Your Playing Field: Divide your playing field into different zones. Ideally, the center will be your Merge Zone, where you focus on merging your large balls. The sides will be your Trash Zone, where you store smaller balls or those you don’t currently need.

Note: Avoid unnecessary balls in the Trash Zones; try to keep smaller balls on larger ones whenever possible.

Warning: If you merge large balls in the Trash Zones, smaller balls might separate the large Gooba Balls, preventing you from merging them again.

The First Goober-Gooba Ball Must Touch the Ground: If there are other balls under the Goober, you’ve wasted valuable space needed for further play. If the Goober isn’t on the ground, you should restart the game.

Play It Safe: Even if some moves seem tempting, always prioritize safety. Many domino effects can occur in this game, usually unintentionally rather than intentionally.

He's right. You won't get it the first time. But, if I could give one piece of advice, never put larger balls over smaller balls if at all possible. The "if possible" part is the trick. There's RNG in the ball spawn, and because it's a physics based game making it so there's a fair amount of luck in how the balls settle.
