ApplePop 100% Achievement Guide

In this guide, you will discover a couple of helpful tips to achieve 100% completion in ApplePop. These tips will make it significantly easier to earn a golden star on every level.

Golden Stars and Points Mechanics

To obtain all 90 achievements in the game, you must earn a “golden star” on all 45 levels. This entails scoring 10,000 points on each level. Points are earned by hitting “apples” with your “orange.” Additionally, hitting pears or strawberries grants you extra power-ups, such as explosions or extra oranges. Purple crystals can be collected to activate a multiplier and earn even more points.

At the end of each level, you will receive 1,000 points for every remaining orange and have the chance to earn up to 5,000 points by landing your final orange in the central area.

This may initially appear challenging, but we will take advantage of two in-game mechanics to simplify the process.

Tip #1: Sniping

ApplePop features a mechanic that returns your orange if it lands in the moving bin. Although this outcome can be somewhat random, you can plan your shots to hit only one apple and accurately land your orange in the bin, granting you a free 100 points. While this approach may seem time-consuming, it is particularly useful for level 7, where only 4,600 points are available. In this case, you will need to land your final orange in the 5,000-point area and have at least one extra apple to earn a golden star.

With some patience, this tactic can be executed smoothly by using around 3-4 oranges to clear most of the screen, enabling you to target one apple at a time.

Tip #2: “Wasting” Your Second-to-Last Orange

When you throw your last orange, you have the opportunity to score 5,000 points by landing it in the correct bin.

“But isn’t that easy? Can’t I simply right-click and test where my final orange will land?”

Unfortunately, you cannot perform a prediction shot with your last orange. However, you can do so with your second-to-last orange. The recommended strategy (for all levels except level 7) is to accumulate 5,000 points with all but two of your oranges. Fire a prediction shot until you find a trajectory that will land your orange in the center bin for 5,000 points. Take note of the power setting, then drastically change the power until the orange misses the apple. Finally, reset the power to the original setting and shoot your orange for an easy 5,000 points.
