Bart Bonte, developer of minimalist, clever and often colorful puzzle games, is back with a new game. This is a game from the days when flash games dominated desktop casual play. Factory Balls Go! It will be launched on mobile on April 21, 2026.
The original Factory Balls, also by Bart Bonte, came out in October 2007. It started as a small Flash project for a design contest. You get a plain ball and a picture of what it should look like, and you have to recreate it using tools like paint, masks, and other objects.
Like most other Bonte games, what was special about Factory Balls was that it never told you how to do it. Players loved it, and hence, it got several sequels like Factory Balls 2, 3 and 4 along with a Christmas edition.
So, it has been reborn as Factory Balls Go! on mobile
Although Flash ended around 2021, the game is back in a new incarnation. The core gameplay is still the same. You start with a plain white ball and try to match the target design without any instructions. It has some strange joints, like balls that could have arms and legs.
The initial steps provide you with straightforward tasks, such as dividing a ball into two colors by dipping different sections into paint. The difficulty gradually increases as the designs become more complex, sometimes with shapes or even characters introduced.
Go Factory Balls! It has a structure that relies heavily on trial-and-error problem-solving. You get a hint system and an optional in-app purchase to remove ads that unlocks hints. The full version includes 100 original levels.
