About Maltese's Fluffy Onsen
Maltese's Fluffy Onsen is a casual indie simulation where you run a tiny bathhouse for animal visitors. The game stays at the bottom of your screen, letting you play while doing other tasks. You place baths of varying temperatures, add rest areas, and serve drinks and snacks to keep guests relaxed. Design your own cozy interior or open‑air baths, hire staff, and watch cats, dogs, rabbits and more enjoy a soothing soak.

Bath Placement
You can place baths with cold, warm, or hot water, as well as special baths that use bubble machines and herbal bags. Each bath helps animal guests unwind in its own way.
Rest areas can be added alongside baths, giving guests a place to relax after soaking. The layout influences how comfortably guests can move around the bathhouse.
- Try mixing hot and cold baths to give guests variety.
- Leave space between baths and rest areas for smoother guest flow.

Drinks and Snacks
Vending machines provide thirst‑quenching drinks, while snack stands offer food to fill guests’ tummies. Both keep animal visitors happy after a soak.
You can choose how many machines to place, balancing space with the need to keep guests satisfied.
- Position a drink machine near each bath cluster.
- Add a snack stand close to rest areas for easy access.
