Do you think working on an assembly line is boring? Not if you're manufacturing Factory Balls! Your job in this clever logic puzzle game is to custom-craft each ball. You’ve got all the tools you need to fulfill every order... except the instruction manual. Yes, the classic Factory Balls puzzle game is back with fresh ideas! And this time, the balls might even have arms and legs, welcome to Factory Balls Go! 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 dipping it into paint cans, using tools, and figuring out the correct order of actions to manufacture the right ball. For example: the target ball might be red on top and blue on the bottom. Maybe you should paint the ball red first, then put on a helmet to protect the top half before dipping it into blue paint... If you enjoy clever puzzles and a satisfying mental workout, Factory Balls Go! will keep your brain busy with 100 original levels. Stuck on a level? Tap the light bulb button in the top right corner for a hint. An optional in-app purchase removes ads that appear before hints. Factory Balls Go! is a game by puzzle maestro Bart Bonte.
