Admittedly relatively captivating for adults. :-)  Nice work.

Speaking as nitpicky someone who has an itchy trigger finger from years of
arcade games, I would say the firing system feels a bit sluggish.  Perhaps
this is intentional (and perhaps I'm just old) but the delay between shots
caused a minor bit of frustration when trying to hit the correct location,
or correct my mistakes.

Also, it wasn't obvious (but perhaps it was in the instructions) that the
left and right firing buttons had different effects on the words -- maybe it
would be useful to colorize the laser differently for each type of shot so
folks like me who ignore directions could "learn by doing".

Nice use of MIDI files -- cuts down on the file download.
