Hey Wizard is low-color, magical platformer fun - Time Waster

Hey Wizard is fun little Flash Time Waster, though getting a decent screencap was a bit tricky. You'll need both hands to work the controls, which led to several untimely deaths as I tried to snag an action shot.
As you already guessed, you control the short bearded fellow with the wand and pointy hat. Though your tiny mage can't jump, he gets by just fine. Aim your wand at the ground, hold the left mouse button down to charge it up, and release it to fire. You'll go rocketing off like a plastic bag in an updraft.
You've got other spells at your disposal, too, including a flame attack (which doubles as a way to hover) and the mysterious - but very useful - necrohand. Each spell has a recharge time, so don't get caught wandering around firing off willy-nilly. Levels are somewhat open-ended, so there's plenty of adventuring to be done and no shortage of monochromatic baddies to dispatch.
Getting used to the controls and the game's somewhat screwy physics can take time, but Hey Wizard is still a big slice of Friday fun.

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 a great game but I need to go get my external mouse - I keep finding myself clicking on things around the game itself while using my trackpad.
These games need a way of going fullscreen.

Enemies can attack you from inside the ground.
