The animations are a bit sluggish. I kept missing clicks on tiles that were finishing animations from a previous turn. Maybe I was playing faster than I should have been but it made things somewhat confusing.

Yep, same here. The animations are way too slow. For whatever reason it seems to wait like a second after you move to pulse influence. There's no reason it should wait.

Now that you mention it, there does seem to be a bit of a lag before that animation starts. Will look into it.

Thanks for the feedback. What device are you on - mobile, tablet, desktop? I am wondering if the animation is taking longer on devices with less processing power.

I could also add an option in the settings to disable animations, for those who like to play fast.

Desktop -- an MBP that should have enough processing power. An option to disable animations would be ideal. But I was also just trying by doing without reading about the game at all so maybe not a huge priority (:
