## What is 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. 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 reach your goal.
If you enjoy a cerebral challenge and are keen for a mental workout, you will enjoy Factory Balls and the 200 original levels!

This is the official Factory Balls game by Bart Bonte/bontegames.

### 5/5 — Wonderful Game!

*2026-05-23, version 4.9*

I’ve been a huge fan of the Factory Balls series of games for years, so I really love playing this game. It’s so unique and fun! I downloaded this ages ago and still replay all the levels from time to time.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-05-04, version 4.9*

Perhaps you would add levels to this game for an additional small fee? I don’t  like all the permissions needed for the new factory balls go.  Thanks for considering.

### 5/5 — No daily puzzle?

*2026-02-01, version 4.9*

Amazingly done as always Mr. Bonte! I’m a longtime fan of your games, and made it through all the levels in just a couple hours! I was wondering though, is it perhaps possible for you to add some sort of daily puzzle feature like the Halloween game, Boo?

### 5/5 — I need more levels!!!

*2025-12-19, version 4.9*

I absolutely love this game. I remember playing it on cool math games and had to download on my devices. I’ve completed all level and in NEED of more levels pleaseee! Much love for the game

### 5/5 — Perle unter Apps

*2025-10-26*

Es ist schön, dass man noch solche Perlen in all den Gelddruck-Mainstream-Apps findet. Man muss ein bisschen suchen, natürlich werden diese nicht prominent im Store angezeigt….
Genießt hier ein durchdachtes, liebevoll handgemachtes Denkspiel. Für zwischendurch immer wieder genial!!!!
Danke 👍

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die fünf Sterne!

### 5/5 — More

*2025-04-06, version 4.8*

I need more this was so fun but I missed the crystal ball puzzles from the original please update again, add the Halloween levels to the iOS version please

### 5/5 — Childhood

*2025-02-21, version 4.8*

I remember playing this on cool math games, so glad that it’s on here.
It’s cheap and has no ads
The levels are fun and not all to easy or to hard
I love how it makes you think. 10/10

### 5/5 — Love this game!!

*2025-01-25, version 4.8*

I used to play this on my computer but since flash is no more I can’t I found this and unfortunately finished the whole game in 2 days. I really hope they add more levels, or add a way we can design and make our own balls.

### 5/5 — Brilliant and unique

*2025-01-06, version 4.8*

I've played thousands upon thousands of puzzles in my life, and despite the overwhelming variety of puzzles I've come across over the years... this is totally new. Wow.

### 4/5 — disappointed

*2024-12-16, version 4.8*

having played all the free games from this creator, i decided to take the plunge and pay for this one (credit due for making it a reasonable price). But i was disappointed due to the tediousness of the game!  I got bored after about 20 levels as they are all just repeating the same theme with no new challenge.
