Bart Bonte is the creator of the logic game Factory Balls Forever. You have to custom-craft Factory balls in this game according to the correct parameters, and at first glance, they all appear to be very straightforward. The sole issue? There are no guidelines for how these balls are supposed to appear.
You will see your ball's target design on the shipping box in each stage. It starts out as a plain white ball, but you can work on it by clicking tools and experimenting with different combinations until you find the right one.
1. Start each level with a plain white ball.
2. Look at the shipping box image, which shows the target design your ball needs to match.
3. Use the tools provided on the left side of the screen to manipulate and transform the white ball.
- The tools allow you to add colors, patterns, textures, and shapes to the ball.
- Click on a tool and then click/drag on the ball to apply that change.
4. Experiment with different tool combinations and configurations until your ball's appearance matches the design on the shipping box exactly.
- You can undo/redo moves as needed.
- Pay careful attention to details like colors, shapes, patterns, placement, etc.
5. Once your ball matches the target design perfectly, you can proceed to the next level.
- Some levels have multiple shipping boxes, requiring you to create multiple balls.
6. The levels get progressively more difficult, with more complex designs that require precise tool usage.
7. Use logic, observation skills, and trial-and-error to deduce how to recreate each design from the plain ball.
The core gameplay revolves around transforming the ball through additive changes with the tools until you reproduce the required design accurately. Taking notes and using process of elimination can also help narrow down possibilities.
