About This Game Earn points by doing that which is pointless.Based on the designer’s own struggle with depression, Life is Pointless takes the player on a cerebral and stoic adventure as they try to escape their meaningless existence. Deep and contemplative, the player is forced to repeatedly complete the same mundane tasks in this minimalist experience, watching as the days pass endlessly before them. More of a philosophical argument than a game, Life is Pointless will force you to take a closer look at your own daily actions, and determine if you, too, are in the pointless pursuit of points.Features include:•Over .01 hours of exciting gameplay!•Absolutely no multiplayer capabilities!•Vivid color palette of black, white, off-white, and dark-grey!•Painstakingly produced over the span of almost an entire week!•Two endlessly looping tracks of music, each an astonishing six seconds long!•Revolutionary day and night cycle!•Incredibly smooth learning curve!•Points!But the best part about Life is Pointless is that you don’t even need to be actively playing the game to earn points! For the truly devoted player who wants to live the game, rather than play it, they can minimize the application, and perform their daily computer routines. Even if the game loses focus, it will still record the number of key presses you enter, slowly adding them to your score. At the end of the day, you can go back into the game, and see just how many points your normally pointless existence has earned you!“Fantastic!” -Made up game reviewer #1“5 stars!” -Made up game reviewer #2“The greatest game ever made!” -Will deManbey (Game Designer, Life is Pointless)“Better than Car Theft Auto!” -Will deManbey’s MomDisclaimer:If you haven’t already guessed from the above description, screenshots, and trailers, there isn’t all that much to this game. It was created from a place of twisted darkness in the designer’s soul, and publishing it was just something he decided to do for fun. He was originally going to make it free, but the same twisted darkness thought it would be hilarious to make people pay for it. That being said, do not purchase this “game” if you do not have a sense of humor. If you’re planning on feeling disappointed, and writing a negative review about it later, then you might as well stop right here. This game was built on negativity and disappointment, so the designer has plenty of it already. 7aa9394dea Title: Life is PointlessGenre: CasualDeveloper:Will deManbeyPublisher:Will deManbeyRelease Date: 4 Feb, 2019 Life Is Pointless Key It's pointless! :D. good game but really, where do points end? i'm about 12 million btw lol. Best game ever! Already my 3rd most played game 10/10 would buy again. Here's a TL;DR for those not willing to read: ♥♥♥♥ off.Artstyle/AnimationI'm sure Will's 3rd grade Digital Art teacher is very proud of the work done here.UIUI is nonexistant. I suppose the closest things to indicators for anything would be three things: The Night-and-Day cycle, the Score, and whether or not the person at the computer is asleep. You gain achievements for playing until an in-game week has passed and if your character falls asleep at the desk. Basically, your character falls asleep at his desk after a while if you don't type constantly (Or just use a macro like I did).StoryWell, this is awkward.MusicGameplayThe basic gameplay loop is as follows:- You type. However, there is a limit to how quickly you can type, seemingly about 3-5 keys per second. When you type, you get points. Why do you want points? Because it's all this game gives you besides ♥♥♥♥♥♥ pixel art and a 3-second loop that the dev tries to pass off as music. However, with how painfully slow you gain points it is much more likely that you will just open Cheat Engine, look up the value for your points, and then modify it to get all of the achievements because that's what I did since the game is so simplistic that only one value came up when looking it up.This game is bad and a waste of time. It doesn't matter how self-aware Will is because Will released it for the general public. It doesn't matter that the whole point of it was to be pointless because pointless things shouldn't cost consumers money. This♥♥♥♥♥♥is evidence as to how ♥♥♥♥ed up Steam's Storefront is currently. I won't support it and neither should you.TL;DR: Refunding. ♥♥♥♥ off..

If Life is Pointless.Why Is there Points?. This game is exactly what the trailer shows. You press keys and you get points. It also allows you to leave it run in the background and gain points from all the key presses you do in your day, although it seems to be a little too intensive on the GPU. It's essentialy an idle game without all of the mind manipulation and effort required of you. It's kinda funny, but there are definitaly many people don't like paying money for this kinda of stuff. Unless you don't mind paying 99 cents for a chuckle or want to make your google searches feel meaningful I wouldn't recommend this.. Life is, pointless or not, a great game.. lmao good joke.
