Its not often that a game featuring a phlegmatic porker fails to attract attention, but Gesundheit! seems to have largely passed by the AGS scene, despite it being made with AGS. However, it attracted enough outside attention to become a finalist at the Independent games Festival at the 2008 Game Developers Conference despite still only being a demo! Author Matt Hammill (no relation to Mark, I assume) doesn't hang around the AGS forums much, so that's probably why it hasn't had a lot of attention, but it still managed to get a Best Non-Adventure nomination in the recent AGS Awards.

Porbably the best charatcer/background art I've ever seen on a AGS game.
