- Bug fixes and visual improvements
Vending Sort is the digital equivalent of bubble wrap—immensely satisfying and hard to put down. The premise is simple: you have a vending machine filled with various snacks and drinks that are completely disorganized. Your job is to swap and sort them until each shelf holds matching items. It leans into the 'organization porn' trend, and it executes it brilliantly with crisp sound effects and smooth animations.
As the levels progress, the number of slots and the variety of items increase, requiring more strategic thinking about which items to move first to avoid getting stuck. It’s a perfect 'waiting room' game; it doesn't demand hours of your time, but it provides a great sense of accomplishment for those who love order. The visuals are bright and the UI is uncluttered, making for a very relaxing experience.
Satisfying ASMR sorting mechanics
Dozens of colorful food and drink items
No time limits for stress-free play
Increasingly complex logic puzzles
One-finger intuitive controls
Always look for an empty slot first. Use it as a temporary staging area to move larger groups of items. Try to complete the most numerous item type first to clear up shelf space early.
The game introduces new mechanics like locked slots or 'mystery' items as you progress. Each level is untimed, allowing you to focus on the logic of the sort rather than racing against a clock.
You can use the 'Undo' button to backtrack your moves or use the 'Add Slot' booster to gain an extra space on the shelf.
I never write reviews on games, but I always read them, so I figured when I FINALLY found a decent puzzle game to review I’d do so. Firstly, they don’t bombard you with ads every 2 seconds which is a welcome change. In fact the only time you actually get an ad is when you choose to double your money or unlock a feature. Second, the puzzles actually get a bit complicated the further you go so it’s not a dumbed down game, but not so hard you want to throw your phone across the room. Thirdly, it’s really well designed and the little animations are great. It’s simple and cute and a lot of fun! Something to do to keep yourself occupied while you’re on break or just need a distraction. Well done!
I rarely write reviews of games. But this one I got yesterday and can’t put down. Defintely worth the $1.99 for ad free. The levels make you think, but aren’t impossible, which is super nice. The added bonus of haptics and the “city” area where you can own various vending machines gives it a little something extra. I’ll be adding this one to my kids’ devices- the logic and problem solving makes it one that is actually GOOD for kids. Defintely NOT mindless- which is fabulous! LOVE it.
This is my favorite kind of mindless puzzle game, I would play it all day if I could - but I can’t. I’ve been stuck on level 224 for what feels like a year at this point. I try it a couple times a week and at this point I’ve tried everything possible without buying a shuffle… I’m starting to wonder if the level isn’t possible without it? I purchased a couple shuffles in the beginning for harder levels just to keep the game going but I’m dedicated to figuring out if there are rigged levels that cannot be untangled without a power up purchase… and if I figure out that’s true I can’t keep playing out of principal. If anyone solves that level with no power up I absolutely need to see how.
I’ve been playing this game for a few months when I get bored. At first I really liked it. Easy enough, some levels were challenging. There was a city map where you could buy vending machines and refill them over time. So, when bored, it had a couple things to do. I took a couple week break and when I came back the map is gone. The literally just the vending machines now and I swear each level is about the same as the next. Each vending machine only ever has two or three rows so it’s like you’re doing the same puzzle over and over. Where did the map go? And can we please get some bigger vending machine puzzles? This is one of the few games I like to play more consistently but it’s getting old….
I actually really enjoy this game, it’s not difficult but does make you think a bit. Recently I was playing and ran out of coins because I could not find a way to get back to the city to collect more, and couldn’t get past the level because I didn’t have enough coins for shuffles or more time. That went on for a while and I started to wonder if maybe there was a glitch in the game, so I deleted and reinstalled the app, unfortunately losing all my progress. I’m back at level 60 and still haven’t seen the city option. Is that feature gone? What if we run out of coins and can’t move on to the next level? Bring back the city please!
I used to love this game so much, until some recent updates changed thing for the worse. Like other reviews, I payed for no ads but now after the update I get ads again? And tries to get me to pay AGAIN for no ads. They also changed the main screen where you manage and upgrade vending machines so now whenever you go to that screen, it starts you at the highest level vending machine. You then have to tap *one at a time* allll the way to the machines you actually have unlocked. It takes so long, I stopped refilling & upgrading those machines right after that update. It’s way too tedious to be fun now. Very disappointing.
So I was going through and testing to see if I like games that instagram or any other social media show me and this game (vending sort) pops up on instagram. Now what caught my attention to it is that it say “BEST NO GAME WIFI” right at the beginning and most of the time I don’t have data or WiFi so I’m looking for games to play when I don’t have those 2 options. So I download the game and open it up and turn off the WiFi and it didn’t even work at all but other than all that the game is not bad it’s pretty good but if the game requires any kind of connection to data or WiFi then say it. This is the main reason why I gave it a 3 stars.
The game itself is great, the fact that the only way you can get coins when you run out is to continue the level’s or buy them with real money and no option to use the money you make in the game is extremely frustrating, I’m stuck on level 300 no way out of it unless I purchase coins and I feel like you should be able to do that with the money you made from the vending machines. Please take this into consideration and update it. Thank you.
