Mine asteroids, defend your turf in Space Game - Time Waster

Space Game is a fun, addictive RTS where your goal is to extract minerals from asteroids while fending off attacks from nasty space pirates.
There's quite a bit of depth to this one compared some Time Wasters we've shared so I recommend reading up on keyboard shortcuts and enemy ship weaknesses.
Set up your network of mining and power equipment and build up defenses - you'll need them once the red alerts start. Basic lasers and missile launchers provide your firepower, just make sure you've got them strategically placed so you're ready for pirate attacks from any direction.
With nine missions and two addition play modes, you could easily blow the rest of your day playing Space Game. If you'd rather not be totally unproductive, the early levels set on slow speed are easy to play whilst tabbing back-and-forth to applications you use to get real work done.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

This is the old man's version of Sinistar: same concept, trading tactical reflex skill with strategic components.
