Death vs Monstars is a fun, crazy shooter on autopilot - Time Waster

I don't normally preface Time Wasters with a warning, but I'm going to make an exception this time.
If you've never played Death vs Monstars before, you may wish you weren't reading this post right now. It is, in two words, awesomely addictive. Once you start playing, you may just kill your entire afternoon, the time you planned on spending at the pub, and the rest of your Friday night festivities.
Controls. Dead simple. You're already shooting all the time, so just fly around. Use your momentum to circle your crosshairs and change aim.
Secret weapon. Death bloom. Double click to unleash a circular firestorm and become invulnerable for a short time.
Power ups. Check. As you defeat enemies, they'll leave behind cash that you pick up to purchase more firepower and better stats in between levels. A little short for that next upgrade? No problem. Replay a level to stuff your pockets.
Bad guys. Lots of 'em. They pop up all over the place and attack in swarms. Sometimes you've just got to park yourself in a corner and keep your aim fixed as waves of the little buggers come at you. Don't stay put too long, though, or you'll miss out on all the booty.
Death vs Monsters has everything I want in a casual game. It's just too bad I found it while I was at work, because I'm way behind on my service work now. These are the sacrifices we make to share Time Wasters!

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, ...
