a new bontegame: "factory balls" mobile for Android and iOS

Guess what? The second bontegames app just went live: factory balls goes mobile! The app was completely redesigned for mobile: a new design and new high resolution graphics, new levels (44 of them!) and a whole new soundtrack.
I poured lots of work into this one, so please please give it some love by playing, rating, commenting, sharing, liking, tweeting or whatever you want to do with this app!
Get it here for your Android phone or tablet. Get it here for your Apple iPhone, iPad or iTouch.

  6. I keep getting "Download failed. Try again." :( Don't know what to do.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Tea, you probably have not enough space left on your device. Is this on Android?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yeah, it is an (older) Android.
    Had some space issues earlier today, so deleted a lot of stuff, which solved the problem.

    Sometimes I get a "not enough space"-error, but not this time (just "download falied"). :(

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yay, five times a charm! Finally got it installed. (Still don't know why it failed earlier).
    Thank you for answering, Bart. :)

    ReplyDelete
  10. Just bought it and wrote a review for you! 5 stars for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  11. yay your best series!

    ReplyDelete
  12. First mobile game I would actually consider buying... too bad I can't. D:

    ReplyDelete
  13. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this game!!! Downloaded and completed ALREADY! Eagerly awaiting your next mobile game release. Yes, even though this one just came out! :)
    Loyal fan of your games...always!

    ReplyDelete
  14. first app i've purchased. ever.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I don't have a Android and iOS. Shoot/

    ReplyDelete
  16. Loved it! Gave it 5 stars.
    Can't wait for more Factory Balls. :D

    ReplyDelete
  17. unfortunately I always get the same message, "Your device is not compatible with this version." Future versions maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  18. :( what about us poor sods who only have a computer. We are jealous!

    ReplyDelete
  19. what about Blackberry? I am sad... :(

    ReplyDelete
  20. Please help! I can't get past level 37 :(

    ReplyDelete
  21. Great game, glad we bought it. In all objective, tough-loving honesty, it's not as good as the online versions. The soundtrack has a bit of a "Casio keyboard" tone to it; the funkier bass-beat of the online version was more engaging. Also, the animated reservoir of balls in the rotating gear was a more eye-catching background graphic than the stack of boxes.

    Puzzles are just as much fun, however.

    Looking forward to the next one.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Thanks for the love!
    A blackberry version is coming soon!

    ReplyDelete
  23. @Miller Thanks for the feedback! I tried to have the rotating balls at first, but a mobile screen is just too tiny (I spent a lot of time in finding the most user friendly way to translate the game to mobile)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ah, that makes sense about the small screen. We bought it for the iPad. On an iPhone, I can see your problem.

    Why did you change the sound-track? Do the smaller devices not have the bass range you needed?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Level 17 - HELP!! Please?

    ReplyDelete
  26. @Miller no nothing to do with the bass range, I'm surprised that you prefer a quick piece of a few seconds that loops forever that I did years ago in a hurry, over a full song that I created to add value :)

    ReplyDelete
  27. A little hint for level 17? Start with the colors behind the earphones and paint the top half protected. Then to be able to put on the helmet you have to remove the earphones, but make sure to put them back over the helmet to keep protecting the paint below...

    ReplyDelete
  28. A little hint for 37? Start with white flowers and put on the helmet so you can water until there are no more flowers in the bottom half...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Love it! More levels, please. :)

    ReplyDelete
  30. @Bart Thanks a lot for level 37 hint. It helped! :)

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hi Bart, great game! Small bug: I just passed level 21 with 3 orange circles and 1 blue circle instead of 2 of each.

    ReplyDelete
  32. When will promos come?

    ReplyDelete
  33. @Debbie thanks for reporting! will fix it in the next update

    @Anonymous you should keep an eye on my twitter, have already posted some promocodes a couple of times

    ReplyDelete
  34. Great game!! Just cant get past 37 and ur hint doesnt help. i cant get the bottom left.

    ReplyDelete
  35. ok then, here comes the full solution for level 37 :)
    white flowers, helmet, water 3 times, helmet off, grass, water, left-half protector, water, left-half protector off, helmet, water, helmet off

    ReplyDelete
  36. Love, love, love this game. I'm stuck on level 31 on android

    ReplyDelete
  37. Me, too! SO stuck on Android Level 31! Someone please help! :'-(

    ReplyDelete
  38. I got it! Yay! AND figured out 37. Sweet!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Hints for level 31: start with the vertical middle part, so:
    blue paint, small horizontal belt, orange paint, big horizontal belt, blue paint
    Now take off the belts and secure the vertical middle part with the vertical belt, then do the rest of the ball:
    orange paint, small horizontal belt, blue paint, big horizontal belt, orange paint
    Take off all the belts and done!

    ReplyDelete

  90. Genius game - would love more like it. Thank you

    ReplyDelete
  91. Keeps freezing on level 33. I've completed puzzle twice but the ball doesn't go into the box. I've tried dragging it there but it just pops out. Running Android 4.3 on Nexus 10. Want to keep playing! Please help!

    ReplyDelete
  92. @Skibee The game is not freezing: your ball is not going in because it is not totally correct. I saw your screenshot: have a look at the two triangle bits, in your ball they are yellow, but in the solution ball they are orange.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Also it looks right and its not going into the box

    Start with the middle vertical bit:
    blue paint, helmet, black paint, helmet off, big horizontal belt, orange paint, helmet, blue paint, helmet off, belt off
    Now secure that middle part with the vertical belt, then for the rest:
    blue paint, small horizontal belt, black paint, helmet, orange paint, helmet off, big horizontal belt, blue paint, take off all the belts
    Cheers!
