Pointer

Pointer, I might, shall we say, point out, is a mouse game that doesn't use the mouse buttons - a buttonless-mousing game, one might say.

The point is, there's something funny going on. Something not proper, if you know what I mean, about this game, some rule, some protocol, shall we say, violated. It feels different, your cursor somehow naked, defenseless, unbuttoned. I dast not say more.

While, at the same time, I dast not not. Because in a way this little game is pointing us to the source of all good new games - some unwritten agreement about how things are supposed to work is violated. And in doing so, the game becomes something new, something fascinating, something fun.
