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.

You get a comet and one pull of the sling. Gravity does everything else. Drag anywhere on the field, watch the dotted line trace the first second and a half, and let go. The comet leaves the pad in the opposite direction and starts weaving between dwarf stars. A close pass heats one. At a hundred percent it shudders, melts and goes supernova. From there it is out of your hands. The shock ring does three things at once: it kicks the comet onto a new course, hands neighbouring stars half their heat, and burns the dust in its path — worth more the deeper the chain runs. Neighbours catch, their rings chase the comet, the comet threads between overlapping fronts, and the sector takes itself apart. You do not steer it. You choose where it starts. HOW IT WORKS • A star heats from a close pass — the closer and longer, the faster • At 100% a fuse burns under a second, then the supernova • The shock ring: +30% speed to the comet, +50% heat to neighbours, dust burned at the chain's depth multiplier • Dust lies along the lines between stars — exactly the routes a chain will travel • A dead star no longer pulls, so late in a round the field straightens its own trajectories THREE SHOTS, ONE FIELD The rule the game rests on: the field is NOT reset between shots. Heat never cools, burned-out stars stay burned out, vaporised dust never comes back. The first shot arms, the second finishes. That is why a chain happens even when you aimed roughly both times — and why precise aim turns it into one unbroken cascade. Everything burned out early? The "Enough" button closes the sector right there. WHAT'S INSIDE • Endless campaign: more stars, tighter charge radii, shorter shock rings • Three stars per sector at 35%, 62% and 88% of luminaries gone nova. One star opens the next • Every sector is procedural but always the same one: its seed comes from its number • An eight-knob builder — build a field and see what it can do • A replay code under every result plays back the same round • English and Russian, switched in settings • iPhone and iPad: the field fills the screen, never a phone layout with bars ABOUT ADS Rewarded video is always your choice, and there are two. If the sector isn't cleared — two more shots at the same field: the damage and the score stay. And between shots — the sector hint: a cone that says "roughly there", not an exact angle. Measured: a shot from the hinted sector destroys about a third more luminaries than a random one, while the globally best angle falls inside it only once in eight. The interstitial comes AFTER the result screen, once every three sectors, never mid-round. No in-app purchases, subscriptions, accounts, chat or user content. The game runs fully offline; the network is only for ads.
