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.

And I just adopted an ipad 2 weeks ago. Perfect timing!! Excited :D

Nicola said...

Got it now! Love it! Can play this forever :-)

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

Bart said...

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

Anonymous said...

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"). :(

Anonymous said...

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

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

Kriket1 said...

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!

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

Unknown said...

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

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

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

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

Stevens Miller said...

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.

Bart said...

Thanks for the love!
A blackberry version is coming soon!

Bart said...

@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)

Stevens Miller said...

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?

Anonymous said...

Level 17 - HELP!! Please?

Bart said...

@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 :)

Bart said...

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...

Bart said...

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...

renee said...

Love it! More levels, please. :)

Unknown said...

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

Debbie said...

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

Anonymous said...

When will promos come?

Bart said...

@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

Anonymous said...

Bart said...

J said...

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

J said...

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

Bart said...

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!

Unknown said...

When will a complete walkthrough be available? I've been stuck on level 42 for days.

J said...

Same situation over here. Level 42 is the devil.

@Spiderbabe hint for level 26: first do the eyes and protect them, then yellow paint, use the stamp, then the pinchers.

Genius game - would love more like it. Thank you

Skibee said...

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!

Bart said...

@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.

Hi I am stuck on level 42

Hi Korin, there's a full walkthrough a bit higher in the comments. For level 42:
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!
