Numberless drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. It leans on shooting and math, so expect something that rewards a bit of practice. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.
About Numberless
Numberless is an endless vertical shooter where you have to destroy an infinite horde of monsters that requires a certain number of hit to be destroyed. More the hit you need to kill a monster, more points you will earn once the monster is destroyed! But if a monster touches you is game over, so is better to do your math!
