I recommend buying the game to get the letters and decorate your Steam showcase beautifully, but it's boring, for children 7-10 years old.

It's a extremely simple game that's good for killing time and can be finish very quickly. Just hold the button and shoot all the moving target that shoots back, some time they drop ammo for the secondary firing that you use your left house button to shoot. Good, and cost only a dollar.
