a new bonte game: factory balls 4

Here it is! I made a new episode in the factory balls series: factory balls 4! So you know the deal: drag and drop a ball over the tools to produce the required ball physics in each level! This time you don't even have to drag and drop, you can also just click the tools. Enjoy! Spread the word and the link! Cheers!

Thank you Bart

Cup of tea said...

I don't know if I'm beginning experimented, but this game was very very easy.
But nice.

-k said...

Woo Hoo! Fantastic Bart! I loved all the new tools and the angry bird was awesome. Thanks for giving us such a wonderful game! :)

Liz said...

YEAH!!!!!!!!! I've been anxiously awaiting the new factory balls, I'm a big fan!

Cas said...

Another Factory Balls? I like the idea, but 4 (5, including the christmas version) is just too much :/

Joel said...

Hey cool- I'm gonna try this out as soon as I get a chance; thanks Bart!

There can NEVER be too many Factory Balls!! :)

But Bart, I'm so sorry ... this one was just too easy. :(

Miss Piggy said...

Yes :D !

T. said...

I enjoyed it, thank you Bart!

Amy said...

Thank you so much Bart for creating a new factory balls game for us! I love these games!!! It was very easy this time (maybe because one gets used to the tools througout the games) but even though I really really enjoyed playing it! Thank you so much! Looking forward to the next one as I hope that this part was not the last one.

Very nice but way too easy :-) Anyway, thank you a lot!

Seaduckie said...

Finished it in one go. Thank you Bart for another marvellous game. I really enjoyed playing it!

Alexander said...

Done

Very Nice and great Game Congrats Bart!

Sephora said...

Very nice, as always!

Carly said...

YAY a new Factory Balls!
Can't wait to play it! ;)

Duckie said...

Love Factory Balls from Number 1! But yes, now it's almost like it's too easy. It would be nice to have an 'infinite' version, where it makes a random combination and you try to recreate it. Though that would be very drastic on my work ethic...

Jessica said...

awesome! :D

Level 17 I reversed the red and orange and it still worked.

Anonymous said...

When I click on the 1 for level one, all I get is a blue background. I don't think that's supposed to happen.....

Dimpl said...

Thanks! Love this game!

Lvl 17 has an error, reversing the colours after completing the ball correctly. It still drops into the box.

KittenMitten said...

YAY ITS HERE ITS SOO AWESOME THANK YOU BART!

Anonymous said...

Thank you Bart - waiting for the next one now ;-)

Nicola said...

enjoyed very much

mm said...

Awesome!!!!! This is just awesome

Jack said...

Wow...I just realized you only need to click the paint cans and items. All this time I was dragging stuff around. Were all the Factory Balls like this?

Gwenneth said...

WHEEEEEEE

I love these games!

Anonymous said...

Glitch: I have 27 correct, but the ball won't fall in the box.. :/ I'll try once more.

Anonymous said...

Nope, not letting me finish 27. *sighhh*

Allison said...

Love it! No glitches, played right through. Challenging but not paralyzing.

LIZ said...

@anonymous 1:56

Are you sure that you have it right? Maybe it's backwards.

Queen Fume-Boo said...

Yay! Factory Balls 4 is finally here! Thanks, Bart!

vitormnt said...

Funny, I found this one much easier than the previous ones. Principally the ones where you had to grow/paint the grass ><
And I don't know if it was on purpose, but in the end, when we can create our own ball, we can color much more than just the ball. You can literally draw all over the screen, like paint ô_Ô
Anyway, it was still good playing it, I always enjoy playing Factory Balls, it's a good logic exercise.

Queen Fume-Boo said...

I agree with vitormnt, this one was a lot easier than the others. I liked the idea of the paint, (I drew Queen F-B!!) but an eraser wouldv'e been infinitley helpful; I kept having to restart!

Anonymous said...

Excelente como siempre, es cierto que este es mucho mas fácil que los anteriores, especialmente con el césped y la regadera. Gracias Bart!

Anonymous said...

Hi! How about a color blind version (there a lot of players with this problem). You could use little dots,lines,... to mark the colors.

Thanks.

The Gordo said...

Excellent, Bart! Much joy to my evening!

I agree with Tea, you can never have too many Factory Balls. This one was easy, though.

I totally dig clicking the tools. Very nice for folks with trackpads.

Still, I could do these forever!

Nemur said...

I agree it was too easy. You should reinstitute the notion where if you mess up you need to start over, like if you need white and you don't get a scraper/white vat. Speaking of which, what's the difference between those? :P

Nice game!!

Rava said...

Yahoo! Factory Balls 4! Let's play it!

Oh, wait... I finished it just a minute ago! D'OH! XD

However... GREEEEAAT GAME, Bart!! I love this series!!

AJ said...

Thanks Bart! Think this one is my favourite so far. Love your brilliant work. :)

SilkeH6 said...

Like, like, like it a lot!! Awesome game!

Helll Yeaaaaah!!! xD

it was so good! i had trouble getting through a couple levels, but it was challenging enough to keep my attention but easy enough to get through after a couple tries! WONDERFUL job Bart!!!

Anonymous said...

Thx dude.
Easier ? ... or am I getting better ?
Yéyé

dyork said...

Fun puzzle, but I was hoping for something a little more challenging. At least the last few could have been rather harder...

Joabean said...

Thanks Bart. My family have all had a go at your game and we all love it. I guess I'll have to play agian because I didn't read the blurb saying just clicking is required. YIPPEE!

Woo! Great game Bart! Keep making these wonderful games! :)

Excellent game Bart!!

Emma said...

I'm stuck on level 11! HELP!!!!

Great game by the way, Bart. :-)

Error on L15 too?.. Have it right but won't drop in box..

Anonymous said...

Anon @ 19:38, that's the same problem I had with 27...
@ LIZ, yes, I'm SURE I got it right... :/ I did it three times, double, triple, and quadruple checked the pattern.. But it didn't work. ;-;

Anonymous said...

YES! It finally went! Now for the last three levels...

Freshbeatz said...

Your games are always fun, Bart. Thank you!

Wildbreeze said...

Best Factoryballs yet! :D

Arf! I wanna draw a pokeball but it's too difficult to do it!!! lol xD

Anonymous said...

right now, scraper is just an alternate white paint.
devious modification: scraper removes ONE LEVEL of color

Petroklis said...

Thank you Bart!Had a nice time with your new game!Excellent idea to be able to click on the tools directly!We are all well trained now on factory balls, so give us a hard time...on No5!

Anonymous said...

PERFECT !!!
GRETTINGS FROM M A C E D O N I A ! ! !
RESPECT !!!

JackSparrow said...

it took me 20 levels into the fourth game to realize you don't have to drag the ball to the color or prop you can just press on it =]

Anonymous said...

yesssssssss

AJ said...

For those having trouble with level 11... try doing the yellow and orange vertical stripes first.

AJ said...

If you're REALLY stuck on level 11...





Click yellow paint tin
Top half of the prongs
Orange paint tin
Bottom half of the prongs
Purple paint tin
Belt
Green paint tin
Remove all

BenL said...

Great game but really straight forward when you have abilities with space and 3D vision. Thanks Bart very challenging and my 6 years old daughter liked looking at me getting the right colors and shapes on the ball.

Great!!! Thanks for this new Factory Balls!! It's one of my favorites!!! I agree it was easy (well, level 11 took a bit longer, without help), but enjoyable anyway! More Factory Balls, please!! Maybe one of the next installments could be a special edition of levels made by players with a level editor...? ;-) I'd also like a new installment of... well, I like all your games, but for example... Full Moon... ;;;-)

Nkt.

Stevens Miller said...

Awesome!

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

This is not just a game. It's an institution. It's a phenomenon.

My nine-year-old son (who has played the other Balls games) was riveted to it from start to finish. He solved them all, without help, but that's because he has sharpened his wits by playing the previous versions.

Thanks, Bart!

Yeah, that would be awesome!!
Honestly, the design of the ball really doesn't have to 'make sense' or be nice/pretty/whatever. As long as there's a challenge in recreating it, the game is great.

As vitormnt mentions, the grass and flowers were really great (because they were difficult).

Well, I often replay all of the Factory Balls. I simply just love the idea/concept.
I'm looking forward to Factory Balls 5 (or perhaps a Factory Balls Christmas 2 ;)).

a little bit too easy, but great^^

Peter said...

That looks great!

lac515 said...

brilliant game finished in mins this one but like the new tools

JackSparrow said...

@Bart hey you should do a free-run level (all colors & props) get people artistic sense on =]

SleepyStuGivesMeHeadaches said...

Stratoslover said...

The easiest of the four, but still exttremely entertaining... Keep it up, Bart! :-)

Viktor said...

Bart,
thanks for again a great, no classic game.. keep up the great work!!

Anonymous said...

Oh such a great game! Can anybody tell me the name of the EPIC music? The music while playing!

Anonymous said...

I think that the level where you can get the colours the wrong way round isn't a glitch, it's just a recognition that you got the right idea but made a slip. Why make you do it all again with two colours reversed? It's like a couple of points in Portal 2 where you're allowed to fire the wrong colour portal and it still works.

The level(s) with the glitch where it *won't* accept the right pattern: is that one with thin vertical stripes? If so, you don't just need the right patten, but also the correct rotation, so try doing it the other way round. I do think that this is a bit of a glitch.

Wolf said...

Really great game! It is in fact more simple to solve than the other ones but it's not disturbing the fun of playing it. And, this Factory Balls series is an educational project in itself. I'm playing all of these games again and again. THX

Love it as always...
Make more pleeeeease...

I love that I can just click the colors and the tools. It's so much easier than the drag-and-drop method. Keep up the good work Bart! I can't wait for the next your game!

chon said...

I enjoy a lot all your games

Thanks

Colleen said...

Hooray another factory balls!! Easier, but that's goodish. And, I'm glad you didn't put in the growing stuff. Thanks Bart!

I must say that level 11 was really hard for some reason, the rest were a piece of cake. There's always ONE level in game packs that's always harder than it should be. Lol good job, bart! Thanks!

Anonymous said...

Love Factory Balls, but just wasn't challenging.
Need Challenge!

Anonymous said...

By the way; I liked the clicking instead of dragging.
Please incorporate that in future Factory Balls. :)

Aweseome game!

And also a damn good backgrund-music ;) Does anybody know the name of it?

Factory Balls ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KC said...

Hey Bart!
I love your Factory Balls games, as always, but this one I found really easy - not sure if it's because it was easier than the other 3 or if I just got used to the puzzling style for this game-series.
Either way, I loved the game! Thanks for making it!

Jack (owner of supercomix.com) said...

For anyone who can't beat Level 11:

Green Paint: 11
Orange Paint: 1
Yellow Paint: 3
Pink Paint: 5
Blender thing: 4 6 10 12
UD(Upside Down)Blender thing: 2 7 9 13
Belt: 8
Hope I helped!

Had a problem in level11 but finally got.I enjoyed the game it was a bit wookie.

Anonymous said...

I really enjoyed the game good job bart. But I liked how in previous games you could turn the balls into glass and put water/lights into them. I would like to see a future game that brings back these features.

Birdie said...

I LOVE FACTORY BALLS!! Thanks so much for the great games! Keep up the good work! :)

Jeremiah said...

The concept is really cool, but as a R/G colorblind individual, this got unnecessarily difficult really fast.

Anonymous said...

this is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

samantha said...

Very nice game Bart. I've finished the game!

I really know 6 years that I've went through from when I was 1.

There's a glitch in the game when you pass level 17. When you finish it with orange with red, then it switches off to red then orange.

samantha said...

Let's make a solution for the levels "11" and "27".

Level 11- yellow paint, top prong, orange paint, bottom prong, purple paint, horizontal belt, green paint, remove all.

Level 27- red paint top prong, blue paint, bottom prong, black paint, remove top prong, cap, white paint, remove cap, top prong, white paint, remove top prong, cap, black paint, remove all.

Gamer Boy said...

Who cares AJ. You don't seem to know that level 17 has an error, reversing the ball but it still falls into the box. It's weird, right?

Anonymous said...

This is Factory Balls, right? Well, aren't you supposed to figure out what's behind the ball, or just the front?
