Factory Balls 2
A new Bart Bonte game has just been released, this one a sequel to an entry from our "ball physics" competition a year ago. Factory Balls 2 is a unique and original puzzle game in which you must match a target ball by adding elements from those given, one at a time. Order is important, and so you must plan your moves carefully.

Congratulations! You beat the game! Watch the end credits to see more balls :)
I'm not at all surprised that this game is wonderful. The factory ball series is probably my favorite flash game ever. I want more!
And Mr. Bonte, do you think you would be interested in developing a game based on something increasing in size as it encountered objects smaller than itself, a la Katamari of those silly fish eating fish games? I would love to see what you come up with!
Thanks for giving me a steady stream of wonderful games... I don't feel as guilty about putting off my work when I can spend my time doing something so creative and engaging!
Bart actually manages to take a great game and make it a thousand times better. I concur on the free play mode though, I wanna make aquariums and adorable smiley balls! :-D
So if he were to implement free play, I hope all the tools from part 1 and 2 were all included. And it could perhaps even be worth considering being able to share balls with others, so that you can see each other's creations like in so many other games.
I loved the first one because of how simple the idea was, but thought it was too easy and there weren't enough options to keep it interesting.
Well, he fixed that problem, and now we have loads of options without getting too cluttered, and the puzzles are much trickier without being counter-intuitive. This is an awesome game, and Bart Bonte has proven himself an awesome designer.
I'd still like to see a free-form mode, where you are presented with all the options at once and can make the neatest balls you like. But maybe that can be a feature in the next one. ;-)
I have never posted before! Let me start by saying that I absolutely love JIG and this particular game!
Anyway, perhaps I have found a bug??
On level 23, if you
1. Select the spot contraption
2. Dip the ball in black paint
3. Remove the spot contraption
4. Select the helmet
5. Dip the ball in white paint
6. Remove the helmet
then the top half of the ball will turn completely black. This shouldn't happen because after step 3, you should have a black ball with white spots. In step 4, when you cover the top of the ball with the helmet, it should protect the top of the ball from any paint or other changes, leaving it black with white spots.
It doesn't happen all the time, but it happened to me twice.
Great game, enjoyed the puzzles.
The only major problem I had was with the color scheme. This game is not colorblind friendly. If using patterns in addition to colors would veer too much from the author's chosen style/artwork, then the next best thing is just to make sure that when colors are part of the puzzle, every color used is of a significantly different shade.
But this has been talked about before ad nauseam.
Also, I got thrown off by the differing shades of green used for the grass, too, though that's not about my colorblindness.
And, actually, the fact that
in the later levels your balls go back into the tumbler after you put them in the recycling bin
makes up for this.
