Pines expansion is buggy
The game is great. Love it as a quick 10 min filler. Recently got the Pines expansion. But it is buggy. The shadows haven’t been programmed properly. Unless it’s fixed, I can’t rate it higher. I hope the developers take notice and do something about it soon.
UI Great. UX Horrible
While the design itself causes intrigue and curiosity to download and pay for the game. It is equally sad that the makers forgot that any game requires its own learning curve.
By just add a guide doesn’t help you out. You require a tutorial to start with how to atleast play the game.
On top of that when i attempt to play the game. I try pressing based on what the “guide” states. But to my surprise..i get stuck on the first round.
Would recommend to download if you feel like charitable and wouldn’t mind wasting a few bucks.

Hard to learn
I have played the tutorial 3-4 times. I’ve played the physical copy of Photosynthesis and wanted to try out this new game vi app. There are too many icons and symbols forcing a player to have to memorize or guess what each icon means. I still don’t know what the sap does or the “powers” which may accumulate. This app is best for someone already familiar with the game. The tutorial or having some sort of helper aid in-game would be helpful.

Hard to learn game from it
App is beautifully designed but the rulebook and tutorial need a bit more depth. It would be nice to see the names of the active player vs an icon you have to click to. Also having a ? Next to symbols that explain what something is would be helpful. I forgot what some of the special powers are based on the symbol alone the first few play throughs.

Fluid gameplay
It's a splendid digital adaptation of the board game. The mechanics work exactly the same. It would be great if there was a low graphics mode to save battery. On my phone, the game drains power so fast that I sometimes cannot finish a single session. On the iPad, everything works alright.
