Don’t you want to be a simple gerbil, hanging out in their cage and enjoying life?
Now’s your chance. In Good Morning Jerboland, you play Max, a tiny gerbil who just woke up! You are able to take on a joyous day of being a gerbil. Of course, you are not alone in this cage, as you share it with Barry. Barry is your softball-sized gerbil friend. He’s quite hungry, so you can explore around and bring him some food to eat.
You can also pick up gerbil poos, find a secret room, meet a ghost, and dig around in some sand. Actually, as a gerbil, there is a lot of fun stuff to do without the worry of bills, needing to interact with other people, or doing something awkward like spilling coffee all over your shirt at a cafe. Being a gerbil, you can just discover cool things and wander around until you are tired and want to go to bed.
You don’t even really need to share your findings with Barry, either. There is plenty of room in your cheeks to hold the seeds, peanuts, and whatever other delicious morsels you grab up from the bottom of your cage. You can choose to share if you want, but no matter what, you get to be a carefree gerbil, exploring your little world.
Good Morning Jerboland was made in Bitsy by a developer who was celebrating the third anniversary of their gerbils. That is indeed a super cute way to celebrate.
Good Morning Jerboland is available for free on itch.io.
