Vending Dokan!: Kozy Kiosk

This game is really special. It gives good vibes when I have it up. For a chill game it's kind of strange. I wouldn't say it's an idler, but I wouldn't say that it isn't. The main point of the game is that you are a really dedicated vending machine owner. (lol. I've never seen vending machines this well maintained in real life!) The pros- I love how I can change the window size and have the views of my vending machines as they cycle through the days/nights, slowly as seasons/weather changes while on one monitor! So many nice visual idlers make it difficult to make the screens small, this one works fine on one monitor. -The music is awesome (reminds me of persona 5 music for some reason, I have no idea why.) -I love people watching when I need a small break from my work. (It must be something I picked up from when I was a kid, When I would sit and wait for my parents to finish shopping at the malls- when those were still around. Haha~ It's nice to see people going about their day in the game.) Cons- It's kinda hard to let it idle too long unless you have workers to take care of the area (and that can take a few hours to get to that point in the game) -there isn't much variations …

I played this game expecting it to be a cute little vending machine management sim but was surprised to find it has focus timers. I'm a huge fan of co-working style productivity games, so it was a pleasant surprise! I love that the game has a focus timer that you can let run while you work and then you can tend to your vending machine and decorate during your breaks. I first played it on stream and stopped playing because I stopped streaming but I can't wait to get back into it!

Generally good. If you like what the trailer shows, that's basically it. It's basically a diorama builder game with economic simulation that turns into a clicker. I guess you can go bankrupt if you hire too many people. I personally don't care if these assets look bought or AI generated, at the very least everything fits sort of together, even though I'd wish there would be a looooot more variety. The music is nice and fitting. The game is in EA tho, so keep that in mind. It raises a few bug bears with me after 10 hours. Currently, it's: Lacking on QOL features like the machines and assets snapping onto a grid, or better yet, adjacent to each other. Some things seem to outright bug out, mainly the employee AI getting caught in between assets, or the boxes in the delivery bay. Lacking on variety. Give me more machines. Esp machines with more than 7 slots (even tho 4 of those perfectly match the amount of non-hot items you have). Also, there seems to be like just a good dozen of customer assets which is frankly ridiculous if there is a red basecap wearing hedphone dude standing at every vending machine at the same time. Lacking on clutter variety too. There is very little a…

Game crashes constantly. For a game that you're not really supposed to be too active in, it doesn't help if the game crashes in the background at a constant rate.

This game is strangely addicting. It's a simple idler/not idler and yet, I can't help but enjoy watching patrons use my machines as well as maintaining my alley I purchased. The game is nothing special. Just a good vibe to wind down with. And it runs great. Had zero technical issues except maybe a slowdown here or there if I alt-tab for more than ten minutes, but it picks right back up.

Very relaxing, I really love the atmosphere and the business element of the game feels satisfying. I am very excited for future updates!
