factory balls go!, the browser version [browser]

If you don't have a mobile device on which you could enjoy my latest mobile game or if you weren't interested in the premium Steam version, I have now also made a browser version. You can play it here! This version only has the first 33 levels (instead of the 100 levels of the full game).
I also wanted to share with you that the game was Apple's Game of the Day in the USA last week! I’m especially grateful that this is yet another one of my games to receive this recognition from Apple! Thank you to everyone who has supported the game! Oh and it's still not too late to grab the free mobile version from the Apple App store or the Google Play store.
