However, I'm not sure what the plan for this is, but as a suggestion I would either have this really early in the episode, or include some sort of option to be able to replay the mini-game if you don't get close enough. I wouldn't want to play through 10 minutes of an episode, just to get to the ball toss scene in order to try and unlock a bonus scene, only to then fail and have to play it all over again.
I plan to have skip links to both the mini-games as playing through would indeed be tedious to say the least. I was going to do this one of three ways:
1) Have an unlock code that is revealed on completion of the game - this would enable links to the mini-games from the start scene.
2) Have a general unlock code that allows you to skip each scene.
3) Use cookies to determine when a user has completed the game, and then allow them to skip to the scene.
I will consider any other ideas too.
As for the actual game, for my 1st and 3rd toss, I came close enough to unlock the bonus scene (it said bonus scene unlocked after the 1st toss). Afterwards, it showed I got a C, but then nothing else happened. It just gave me an option to go back to the main menu, which is the same thing that happened when I failed all 3 tosses and got an E. If there actually was supposed to be a bonus scene included, it did not show for me. Additionally, when I go back to the main menu and try to start the game again, it doesn't load again for me. I have to refresh the page (which isn't really a big deal); I'm playing on Firefox if that matters.
This sounds like it is behaving exactly as expected. I have not included the bonus scene, because I haven't completed it yet. The ranking mechanism is a legacy of the episode one code and the return to menu doesn't work because it relies on code that is not in the testing version.
