I personally don't think they are as hard as they are annoying. But staying on topic I think the second one is harder because it has more levels so you die a lot more. The first one may seem harder because it IS the first one and it takes you by surprise, though, but still, the last level in the second one is TERRIBLE, dear God! I just can't do it no matter how hard I try, it kills me at least 60 times before I finally get mad and quit, jeez I'd really like to see someone play that game without dying more than 20 times, now that would be an accomplishment!
