January 29, 2013 by Leave a Comment

How is it that I just discovered Gesundheit? It recently scored the Free App of the Week promotion in the App Store, being one of the best to get that tag.  The bottom line: get Gesundheit. You will never think of snot the same way again.

You play as a pig who must strategically blow his mucus in order to lure large, snot-eating monsters toward their doom. The hilarious concept combines with mind-bending gameplay to create an addicting experience. After I scored Gesundheit HD it easily ate up several hours of time.  [Read more...]
