How to unlock the Certificate of DOH achievement in ARKANOID Live! - Definitive Guide
This achievement really isn't too difficult. The only reason it can become frustrating is if your ball gets going too fast on a level (probably one of the last few) and you fail, because you will have just played nearly an hour for no reward. :( Just do the following to make this as easy as possible:
1) Set the gameplay to Easy, and use Barriers (max of 5). Also, turn enemies off.
2) Play with a friend*. 2 people is always better than 1. If you don't have a friend to play with, just turn on a second controller and leave it stationary. At least it raises your chances a little if you miss the ball.
You do NOT need to defeat the boss to unlock this achievement.
Use this same strategy to unlock the "Certificate of Bones" achievement.

I urge everyone to not bother with this. You need gargantuan amounts of blind luck when it comes to getting the ball through a one block hole in between a full cage of indestructible blocks in an unforgivable number of levels. After which you need more blind luck so that the ball finishes the level and does not bounce back out of that cage of indestructible blocks.
And for what its worth, choosing lives instead of barriers is the more sensible choice in my opinion. The aforementioned levels with indestructible cages simply grind through your five barriers in a few miserable moments when the ball gains speed and never ever slows down in between breaking your barriers. But again, going for this is a waste of your time and mood. The game doesn't behave with the angles and the level design is horrendously toxic.
It's not fully impossible, but consider doing literally anything else with your time. You could be reconnecting with your family. Or curing cancer. I'm pretty sure trying this *gives* you cancer instead.
Damn, one would really think making an Arkanoid game wouldn't be that hard to get right. But the devs managed to really soil the bed with this one.
