Level 72…

Absolutely delightful puzzle game, but this level… this god forsaken level is absolutely strenuous.

(⚠️Spoilers if you haven’t gotten to this level by the way⚠️)

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….

As much as I do enjoy sliding puzzles, having TWO layers of said sliding puzzles is too much. Not only is it tedious to have to move the tiles on the top layer out of the way to see what you are doing, but you can only see through that measly little single gap, like some hellish version of tunnel vision, which makes strategizing and planning extremely difficult if not almost impossible. When you think you’ve completed the lower layer, you realize that you have completely scrambled the other half that you had already completed. I can hear it laugh at me. I just want to yank out that wretched top layer like ripping off a blindfold. Not to mention how utterly useless the hints for this level are. Obviously it’s a sliding puzzle; obviously it has two layers; obviously you need to solve it. It’s so simple, yet so confounding. I now know how Sisyphus must have felt. What layer of Tartarus did this level crawl out of to end up in a humble mobile game?

Thanks for your five stars :) @BartBonte

WAY Underrated

Bart Bonte was making varying logic puzzles years before they caught on, and this is an excellent example of his earlier work.
The user rating on this game doesn’t accurately represent the high quality of this game or the big influence his work has had on other developers.

Love love love these games

I absolutely love all your games. I can’t get past level 43 because it won’t let me hit factory balls. Can you fix that? Love it though! :)

Thanks for your five stars! For level 43: you don't have to hit it, but spell it with the letter buttons. @BartBonte

Levels 52 and 72 (maybe more..)

Never have I ever come across worse levels in ‘puzzle’ games. Not only are they exact copies of each other, they’re both awful. Don’t mock me with ‘you can do it!’. Yes, I can do it after painfully watching a tutorial at x0.25 speed and having to re-do it anyway because I went wrong once. If you’re going to make me wait 120 seconds just to tell me that as a ‘hint’ then you clearly don’t know what a hint is. Please change the hints to actually help you out, as hints should.

What’s in the Box

Great game. I like that it’s challenging. However I am stuck at level 37. I just don’t understand and the two hints still not helping. Can’t I skip to the next one?

pretty good

good game! just wasn’t as intuitive for me as some of the others by bonte and i couldn’t stand the levels where you have to rotate the screen to move the ball.

otherwise though, i loved it.

Favorite puzzle game

Love this game, great brain teaser and helps keep my mind sharp. My only complaint is a couple of the levels, I still don’t really know how I solved them. I was merely button mashing to see what cause and effect they have and it ends up solving it without me knowing what I actually did. Also level 81 and 88 are basically identical. Hoping for a Box Sequel game some day

Level 43…

Level 43 is entirely pointless. Had to watch two ads to figure it out and it left a sour taste in my mouth. Gave up on the rest of the levels afterwards.

Love the game but I’m confused

I love this game but some of your hints are so vague. 43 is the one I’m stuck on because the hints don’t make sense. I need help

Thanks for your five stars! For level 43: '?' somewhere on the screen (not on the box) gives info about 'more' of my mobile games, now the '2'nd one of those... maybe you have to spell the name of that game with the letter buttons. (Maybe 'f a c t o r y b a l l s') @BartBonte

Great game!

Overall this is a fabulous game, but some levels are really hard or repetitive that’s why I only gave it a 4 stars.

For level 7 the 3 pieces in the back also form a sliding puzzle like the 3 pieces on the top. If you tap a piece, it slides to the free position. So if you want it to go to the right, you should first make the free position on the right. This video shows how to solve it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU01DhPGKuw

Great idea, but...

I love the concept and idea for the game and love your other games like yellow, but this one has one issue. On level 7 where I need to make a circle, the one part that is on a different layer only moves up and down. It never moves right like I need it to. The hints just tell me to make a circle and that there is another layer, but they don’t tell me how to make the circle. Please let me know if there is something I am doing wrong or if something just went wrong with the game. Thanks!

Response from developer

Thanks for your five stars! For level 95: count up: One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine... but there's only the first letters of the numbers, so: O T T F F S S E N... and keep going :) to 20, so the solution is: OTTFFSSENTETTFFSSENT @BartBonte

Fun game but…

Level 43 isn’t passable, there is no button to press after pressing the ? Button. iPhone 12 ios16

Bart Bonte games rule

When you see a Bart Bonte game and it isn’t a new colour your heart sinks a little. And then you realise that it is just as great and addictive as all of the other games. Brilliant. Again.

Finally found out what’s inside the box

Played this game years ago as a kid and never beaten it, the last few puzzles were hard but I’m glad to have beaten it because I wanted to know what was in the box

FAWFUL IS AWSOME
