Pointless is a 2d game made for the GMTK 2026 Game Jam!

You play as a triangle in a top-down arcade game, armed with a two modes: dash and bounce. In dash mode, you can dash forward to kill enemies, and in bounce mode, you can bounce off of and interact with objects (which can also be used to kill enemies).

The game starts with a simple tutorial with custom narration before you find out what's really happening: the computer itself is crashing, and every level from here on must be beaten before its timer runs out, or it's lost to the corruption.

(we're aware there's quite a few bugs :( these will be fixed post game jam! there are two other levels and a boss fight after the second level but the portal is glitched in this build so you can't access them...)

Very fun :)

I assume the lag spikes were intentional... very funny the first few times, corrupted game is actually corrupted! (After a while they kind of gave me a headache though)

Awesome game!
