30 seconds of pixel-zapping pew-pewing productivity well spent.

Your pal just shot {stars} and reckons you haven't got the finger speed to beat them.

You've officially humiliated them. How will they ever recover?

Well, that’s embarrassing. Looks like your pal was right… Have another go before they find out?
