Pointless is a stupid clicker game, one which is - as the name says - pointless. You click on a dot, which then blows up into a whole bunch of other dots, which you click on, and then they blow up, and so on it goes. After a while the dots go away, but then more dots come along. You get to click on the dots with "weapons", which are meant to be lasers, bombs, etc., but which are no more than pixelated items which blow up even more dots. They don't look like weapons, but that doesn't really matter; after all, the game is pointless. Pointless is a good example of truth in advertising. The game's advertising blurb says that "Pointless is a game about destroying Dots". The various reviews of the game on Steam confirm that fact. If you expect anything more from this game other than clicking on dots, then you're missing the point (ha ha, pun intended). The only useful thing about this game is that Stat Junkies can get 100% of the achievements in under 20 minutes. The only other reasons that I can think of for playing the game is if you want to get a high ranking on the global leaderboard, are after some Steam cards, you find the game relaxing in some sort of fashion, or you are just looking to kill some time (and some dots). Basically, the game is rubbish; but the developers have made that obvious right from the start, so kudos to them for being honest (hence the positive review - the game delivers on what it promises). If you buy this game to get some amazing entertainment, you need your head read. However, if you are looking to get an easy 100% achievement game, then this is the game for you. If you buy it on that basis (preferably when it's on special, or if you have a coupon for it), then you can't go wrong.

a simple dot clicking simulator. only buy it for the easy 100%. there is no gameplay or replay potential.

Well the title describes it perfectly... It is pointless. The only reason i would recommend it to someone is to get easy 100% achievements like me and only when you have a coupon for it. So therefore i will only click recommend for that..

Well named game. Cheap way to get a few achievements and a "complete game" but absolutely no redeeming value other than that.

it had me get severe FPS dropdowns when using Laser or Bombs combined with other powerups without the powerups this game would be awful! yes, the last achievement makes you have to destroy 100 000 dots altogether, while the rest of the game can be done within 10 minutes, so I won't go there just yet just like I haven't done the last bit on "I am Mayo" yet not sure if 80ct - 1€ is the most pointless about this game, there are tons of games that are for free and "feature" "more" still you get a lot of yummy colour palettes and wrecking those dots with all those explosion and crusing sounds like those sound chip toys with a few buttons on them back in the late 80s .. and the chiptune music that's not even -that- annoying (the one on the trailer) encourage you to keep playing as well as the POWERUPS do, you can easily miss a pixel and have to wildly keep swiping around with your mouse in combination with pointless clicking (like others do on other games even more? :P) the powerups will help you destroy tons of pixels, and if you have a PC (or maybe my background app's were guilty?) that's more than 1,6 GHz like the minimum req says.. not that I have a lot more, but it's pathetic (or my PC, myself or the game all along?) how my 2,3GHz Quad makes me wonder if it'll go back to normal or just freeze it all when the FPS go to 0 or negative values >.<
