The .02 update was a good call. A lot of smart changes made. Even the easy mode became challenging enough but not too frustrating to truck through. If you expand the puzzles exponentially like you are going though, it's going to become more frustrating again. If I may suggest, maybe make the puzzles story based? There can be situations for the girl to get through, each one getting slightly more perverted, but have simple slides that connect the two. One of the biggest turns out about fapping to a game vs a comic/movie is that there's a story that you earn, therefore the payoff is worth more to the player.
Also...where are these animations?
