About factory balls
You might think that working on the assembly line is tedious work, but not if you're manufacturing Factory Balls! Your job in this logic puzzle game is to custom craft each ball to a specific order. You've got all the tools you need to fulfill each order... except the instruction manual.
In each level, you'll see the target design of your ball on the shipping box. Starting from a plain white ball, get to work by clicking the tools you want to use and try to manufacture the correct ball.
For example, the target ball might be orange with white eyes and black pupils, which means you need to use different spectacles to block the paint and create the different patterns. Need to make a beak? Maybe you have to pull a few times with a pair of pliers.
There is no time limit or punishment for making incorrect moves, so you can try several different configurations to feel your way to success.
If you enjoy a cerebral challenge and are keen for a mental workout, you will enjoy Factory Balls!
36 new levels in the latest update! Now 200 original levels!

Unique, appealing and addictive
Jul 31, 2017 Well I see my original review was 4 yrs ago and I still love this game. Thanks for the new levels!!! -------------- If you like a good puzzle, this will exercise your brain in a captivating way. The concept is simple: on each level you start with a plain white ball and get different tools (paint, a scraper, etc) to use to make the ball duplicate the one in the picture. Experimenting with the creative tools is fun since the design is crisp, sleek and colorful. The difficulty increases at a good rate that builds on skills and techniques from previous levels. The background music is unobtrusive. I was completely hooked and never got bored or frustrated. I did get stuck a few times but was always able to come back later and solve them. I'm guessing it took me 6-8 hours or so over several days to solve all 44 levels, and since I enjoyed every minute of it I absolutely felt I got my money's worth. Re-playability factor isn't huge, but I'm guessing I'll come back to it now and again. My 2 suggestions would be: a save feature - in the more complex levels, having to start from scratch if you have to stop mid-level is mildly annoying. Also, it would be cool to have a level generator so that once you finish the 44 puzzles you could continue to create, for instance, easy to medium randomly generated balls using the existing tools. Loved it!more -
Aug 2, 2020 Hours of puzzles. Be aware of fatigue. Don't try to solve a chapter in one sitting. This is the kind of game you need to sleep on. One thing is missing from this game: a sandbox mode. You would need a tool palette and a color pallette instead of the current arrangement, but I believe it could be done.more -
Love it but need MORE!
Feb 4, 2018 This app had been challenging and fun. As an adult, I have enjoyed it but so have my 10 year old and my 18 year old. I really wish they would come out with more levels, more often. Sequel games, more sets, something! Please, please, more!more -
Jun 6, 2020 Happily bought this after playing and finishing Boo....this one is just as fun and just as charming. Overall a great game. I do wish you could skip levels. I'm stuck on A37. Watched the hint/YouTube video numerous times but it's not "behaving" the same way...the lower left quadrant does not "grey out" like the video....sigh. Had to move on to the other sections, but dang it bugs me that A isn't finished LOL!! Please make more games like this and Boo....challenging but fun and unique!more -

May 26, 2020 I absolutely love this game. This is the only android game in my entire life that i actually paid for, considering i don't even play games on my phone. It looks simple but gets really really challenging. I came here after finishing Boo, another incredible game in the same lines. Fantastic job Bart Bonte!more

Jun 12, 2020 Fun and a bit of a pattern once you get familiar with it. Great time killer. The only problem is I prefer the cute pumpkin version of the game more. (Same developer, look it up.)more

What’s Groovy
I have now played both boo and factory balls and really enjoyed it. I want more factory ball games but google play don't have them ☹. some of the puzzles on both boo and factory balls was difficult and some easy. I must admit on occasions I got so frustrated with a puzzle I had to walk away for a few hours then come back to it. It's a fantastic fun game.

What’s Subpar
I’m tempted to rate this game only one star but the core concept of the game is good enough that I can see past my UX frustration.
It takes almost 20 seconds to load the game (To get to the point where you were actually playing) every time you play it. Several unnecessary touches/clicks, animations and other worthless-at-best fluff between you and the action.
Contrary to the developer’s response, this almost-20-second wait happens WHEN you touch the fast forward icon. (The wait is even longer when you don’t.) 1. Touch the app icon to start the app. Wait several seconds. 2. Touch fast forward icon. Wait a couple seconds for unnecessary animation. 3. Press play icon. Wait for more unnecessary animation. 4. Press letter icon. Wait for more unnecessary animation. 5. Press number icon. Wait for even more unnecessary animation. … How about a continue button when you start the app to just play the next level? Or make a Settings toggle to turn all of that time wasting animation off. But more importantly, why does the app need so many steps (and lengthy animations) to get to the point where one plays a game. It’s not normal. It’s not good.
Furthermore several of these unnecessary steps appear again every time you want to navigate menus.
The crux of the game is to duplicate an example ball but the example ball is far smaller than it needs to be. The box in which it comes is larger than the ball itself. On small screens it’s sometimes hard to figure out what’s on the bottom of the ball.
Though on one hand it makes sense that you can’t put the belt over the hat for example, it’s neither clever nor cute that we have to both put elements on and take them off in the “correct“ order. This adds nothing to the game experience nor does it affect the difficulty. It’s just annoying. Developers response clued me in to the notion of tapping on the ball to remove items, but this wasn’t intuitive to me.
If you don’t value your time, user experience, and you think several easy-to-fix, needling elements won’t bother you, this game is closer to four stars than the 1.5 I give it.
Even more frustrating because after looking at other apps by this developer (like the Halloween version of this game, his game “yellow“) some of these UX-killing ‘features’ aren’t there.
Dear developer,
If you fix these things or even most of them I will absolutely crank up the stars and edit this review. I think you’ll find that improving UX will improve your sales.

Whole family enjoys Factory Balls
After trying Boo, we were delighted to buy this game. My granddaughters (ages 5 & 7) work together on the puzzles. Great grandma (86) has fun with it, too. I only get my turn after their bedtime. I would recommend any of the BB games. -
Great game! Played the Boo! Game by Bart Brontë first and really enjoyed it then found this, which is very similar but there's a lot more of it! Some of the puzzles are pretty challenging at times too. Would recommend. Thank you!
-
Very nice!
I really like this game. The puzzles progress enough to keep me challenged and interested, but without being frustrated to the point of abandoning it. I like the look, game play is simple. They keep adding levels which is awesome!! -
Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic... Finished and I want more!! One of the best games ever, I'm always happy with a Bart Bonte game.. never ever been disappointed....Bart!! I NEED more!! Please please please... I must have played all levels100 timers at least.. I need more!!

Engaging and addictive
Yippie!!! Thank you for adding new levels!! I've been waiting so long. Soon I will be wanting more though because this is a great puzzle game that I play often. Thx again!!!

Great concept, love this game !
If you’re the puzzle type and like to figure things out, then you’ll love this game. I have played it through twice. Boo! Is the Halloween version, same concept but on pumpkins, also very fun.
