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!

    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...

  42. vitormnt1 October 2011 at 04:35

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Queen Fume-Boo1 October 2011 at 05:10

    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!

    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!

  47. Nemur1 October 2011 at 06:52

    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

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... ;;;-)

    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 ;)).

    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.

    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.
