The game introduces many adorable characters such as Nat Kiddin and Athena Overquill . The art style is cartoonish and colourful which helps lend a hand to the ‘cosy’ aspect of the game despite the fact that chaos was at the forefront . The colours all melded together nicely which made it easy on the eyes.
The game is adorably chaotic fun but has teething problems with the game’s tutorial which makes it harder to dig into than expected . The tutorial instructions aren’t easy to follow which throws you in at the deep end . Even tasks as basic as manoeuvring the camera felt more like trial and error because of inverted controls . At one point, one button prompt simply showed as a question mark leaving me completely unsure how to proceed without a small degree of trial, error, and frustration .
In conclusion, Blooming Business: Casino is very fun and has a lot of potential especially with its unique and charming art style. Here’s hoping that the rough edges of its tutorial can be smoothed out to make it a more consistent experience throughout .
