While I don't condone the disrespectful delivery of the other user's "feedback," I do understand what he's getting at with the mini-game. I've always thought that often there are kernels of truth in all the vitriol that comes on F95zone. But that doesn't excuse the disrespect, obviously.
Anyway the problem is rather simple with the mini-game, just that the difficulty is a little too extreme. (I'm sure Llama will add more worthwhile content to this minigame later and tune it.) It's really a question of blood flow. If a minigame is too hard, too much of a player's mojo is going to be flowing away from, err, our southern hemisphere and back north, to our brains, because the task at hand requires all of our dwindling brain cells to complete. This can shut off sexual tension and the sense of buildup and cause unnecessary frustration.
However, I do think minigames, if balanced right, can be well done and provide an interesting sort of grind. I think all of my favorite adult games have some type of grind, whether based on story or puzzles; they can definitely add to the sense of tension building and reward. But if overly taxing, I think they can cripple arousal.
I do think the minigame is an excellent and fun addition to the game, because basically it's an excuse to add a whole other realm of content, based in some fantasy world. And variety will always keep players interested and add more texture to the game world.
But that's the beauty of the Sexbot story world: LLama can come up with stuff like this and add it seamlessly into his game world, thereby allowing for more creativity.
This mini game was just something I wanted to try for fun. To me, its bonus content, not story content, not established character content. It was for my personal development more than anything.
In the interest of demonstrating that I listen to player feedback, I'll tell you the plan for this mini game. Once the loop is in place, if the player has not beat the mini game after x number of loops, steve will text some strategy tips, if y number of loops pass and the player hasnt unlocked the sex scene melvin will text the cheat (which is currently implimented) to set the timer to 2 seconds. So it will eventually be completely accessible.
Now, the development considerations that I don't expect players to consider, or know about; the loop is not complete, so many game mechanics like this one, are not implemented. The texting and photo interfaces are not performing the way I want them to, so Im not expanding on that until its fixed. There is a huge list of things that need to be done, before the game plays the way I want it to.
The game as a whole is a work in progress. I cannot emphasize this enough on this site. The current state of the game, is not the way it is meant to be played. It is so funny, that so many people here, were not around for the 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 updates of the first game, and are leaving reviews and comments saying the game isnt as good as the first one yet. No shit. You're eating an under cooked pie, the apples are raw, and the crust is doughy.
Let the thing cook.
