Time management games are all about pacing, and here the throttle seems a bit too aggressive before you get your feet under you

Onsen Master is a frantic co-op multiplayer hot springs management game that can be a lot of fun despite its clunky and bug-ridden gameplay. In other words, just like a public hot tub, it can be enjoyable but it really starts to stink after a while.
