I will be listing solutions that are qualitatively different (e.g. going around different fixed obstacles). Where solutions achieve the same goal, only the first submitted will be listed. Several of the problems were solved in a collaborative fashion by exchanging designs on this message board; the final solution will be listed first, and the contributors will be listed after. Please let me know of any corrections.

The levels not yet solved at all are: None! Way to go, everyone!
And here are a selection of specific solutions that haven't yet been found (many are probably impossible):
Rolling Away: Underground, left-to-right over the left obstacle, or around the right obstacle.
Reach Up: Around the far-right rectangle counterclockwise.
Mind the Gap: Under the right half of the ground.
Junkyard: In between the two levels?
The Wall: Over both obstacles.
On a Roll: Around all three upper obstacles or underground.
Full Up: I don't see anything left to do on this one.
Higher: Right-to-left over the upper obstacle or underground.
Around the Bend: Over the upper obstacle left to right, or underground.
Up the Hump: Underground.
Mission to Mars: Around the right obstacle, then the left obstacle, and then into the .
Up the Stairs: Underground.
Big Ball: Underground.
Four Balls: Lots left to do...
Down Under: Figure 8 around the two obstacles.
Awash: Underground.
Handling: Anything left on this one?
Tube: Over the whole thing and then back up the middle.
Unpossible: Underground.
U-turn: Around the whole thing.

maybe I can get hap to update this, after all, in the middle of Saeks post, it says "edit by hap"

Rest of original post:
Here's a list of what I consider -a- Longway for each level. Follow along with an extra browser window for reference:
1. Rolling Away - Around one of the three structures. Maybe wrap around the top right with a catapult + chain.
2. Reach Up - Easy to qualify, but you get bonus Awesome points for going around more than just the circle...
3. Mind the Gap - Easy to qualify obviously , but try getting around the top right small square.
4. Junkyard - Ouch... have to go under. Hint: Two machines, one to get down and throw it, one that will move forward to catch the ball.
5. The Wall - Not too bad. Get over that blocky island without scoring first. Harder would be the roundy island.
EDIT: yellow loose obstacles don't count.
6. On a Roll - Catapult and chain around one of the upper things. Or back up and go over the obstacle behind you.
7. Full Up - Easy, over the ball. But if you figure a way to go under this level, you will be a god!
8. Higher - Over the upper obstacle. Harder: Ground obstacle. Hardest: BOTH.
9. Around the Bend - Not just around the center... Maybe over the ceiling and catch it on the left side?
10. Up the Hump - Around one or both of the rounds. Hardest: go under.
11. Mission to Mars - under the Earth (left side). Bonus: wrap under and over Mars (right side).
12. Up the Stairs - over the three upper obstacles. Bonus: over the first, under the second, over the third
13. Big Ball - Over the tilted ramp-like obstacle and/or the flat one. Or under the ground, of course...
14. Four Balls -
Has to be under... You are Contraption King if you get this one.15. Down Under - Around the bottom obstacle. Harder: Around the bottom, then around the top again.
16. Awash - Over the crooked upper obstacle. Harder: Underground.
17. Handling - Over the T. Or around the stuff behind you. Or under of course.
18. Tube - Possibly the hardest there is. Out the bottom and around the side. Hint: Two machines, one crawls up.
19. Back and Forth - Around one or both of the floating obstacles.
20. Unpossible - Already a hard level, now you have to get the ball around the upper left obstacle, or under the ground.
21. U-Turn - The two obvious paths don't count. Have to go around something.
Some are easy with catapults and others will require downright ingenious solutions involving multiple machines. This could also be called the "Too Much Time On Your Hands" Challenge. Good Luck!
