1.1/10 - Can't say we weren't warned! As Advertised.

I don't know what I was thinking when I paid full price for this game; it's bad. Have you ever sat in class and put dots on the page until your hand went numb? That's this game in a nutshell. It's like paying $1 to get a quick 100% achievement in the books. Completion of the game takes 5-30 minutes!

The game starts out by you simply clicking dots on the page, those dots explode and make new dots. You then click those new dots to make more dots. Here's where it gets interesting... Those new dots... they have to be clicked again to make more dots! It's amazing.

It’s worth nothing. Don't buy this. You shouldn't even be reading this review!

Pointless is right, there's no way to lose. Nothing to do except watch your score go up. And once you get all 8 easy achievements, there's really nothing there to keep you engaged.

The title for this trifle of a game is completely apt: this is an utterly pointless game. The gameplay has nothing to it (just clicking dots as they appear, now and then clicking on a letter to activate a supercharger), the presentation is extremely uninspired, bland even, and the technical realisation is sub-par at best. Overall, the quality of this "finished product" lies well below what you'd expect from a first-years student in Game Programming & Design working on his first ever presentation after a couple of months.

So it's a good thing this game is at least offered for free, and as such it joins the ever-growing horde of free-to-play games whose only reason of existence seems to lie in their offering Steam trading cards and an easy-to-get 100% completed game. It's completely up to you if you want to spend a quarter of an hour pointlessly clicking in order to achieve that, but don't expect anything interesting to happen while doing so.

Latest updates

Update

A small update for the game. A Leaderboard has now been integrated; destroy a couple of dots and return to the main menu too upload your Dot count to the leaderboard. This leaderboard is accessible from the main menu, under Global Scores. Upgrades are now available for four of the weapons; Upgrades can be accessed from the main menu, under Dot Destroyer. The laser has changed, it's now a slow moving laser beam that follows the mouse curser instead of being tied to mouse position. This was to give it upgrade potential. Fullscreen issues should have been fixed, if you're still having problems then please let us know. A new timed Dot mode has been completed and hopefully pushed to the game soon, the delay is caused by Leaderboard problems. Thank you for your patience.
