Factory Balls is an ingenious puzzle game that feels like a digital logic workshop. The premise is simple: you are given a plain white ball and a target design. You must use various tools—hats, belts, paint buckets, and even seeds—to transform the white ball into the target. The catch? The order in which you apply these tools is everything.
It’s a game of layers and masking. If you put a hat on the ball and then dip it in paint, the area under the hat stays white. This leads to some truly 'aha!' moments as you try to figure out how to create complex patterns using limited tools. The aesthetic is clean and industrial, and the puzzles get progressively more complex without feeling unfair. It’s the kind of game that makes you feel like a genius when you finally crack a difficult level.

Technical update: performance improvements.
You might think that working on the assembly line is tedious work, but not if you're manufacturing Factory Balls! Your job in this logic puzzle game is to custom craft each ball. You've got all the tools you need to fulfill each order... except the instruction manual.
In each level, you'll see the target design of your ball on the shipping box. Starting from a plain white ball, get to work by clicking the tools you want to use and try to manufacture the correct ball.
For example, the target ball might be orange with white eyes and black pupils, which means you need to use different spectacles to block the paint and create the different patterns. Need to make a beak? Maybe you have to pull a few times with a pair of pliers.
There is no time limit or punishment for making incorrect moves, so you can try several different configurations to reach your goal.
If you enjoy a cerebral challenge and are keen for a mental workout, you will enjoy Factory Balls and the 200 original levels!

Factory Balls is a creative puzzle game by Bart Bonte. Your job is to produce a ball that matches the target shown on the shipping box. By dragging the ball over various tools like paint cans, caps, and masks, you must figure out the correct sequence to create the desired pattern. It starts easy but quickly becomes a deep test of logic and sequence planning.
Dozens of unique, brain-bending levels
Intuitive drag-and-drop gameplay
Unique industrial art style
Satisfying logic-based progression
Always look at the target ball from the bottom layer up. Determine which color was applied first, and which areas were masked off by hats or belts to keep the previous color visible.
We've written about a fair few of Bart Bonte's wonderful little titles, but our favourites are definitely his colour puzzler series.

Drag the ball into buckets to color it, or use accessories to cover parts of the ball. If you make a mistake, you can drop the ball in the trash to start over with a fresh white canvas.
There is no penalty for trying different combinations! Experimentation is key to understanding how the different masks and tools interact.
