I agree with the others that some more feedback on what to type might be helpful and also increasing the font a bit. Maybe have the current character to type slightly larger than the others too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I don't know if it is a good idea, but what if you could save up your shots. Either because you don't need to shoot at the moment or because the shot becomes extra powerful if it is a two or even three word shot.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Oh almost forgot.
