This game is pointless. I don't know how one can complain about this game, the description is right, you get what you are told. It is a few minutes of brainless fun, but thats it.

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.
