A game for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive about an ordinary gerbil.  No aberrations here.

Use arrow keys to move, and S, X, or Z to jump, but keys can also be rebound in the emulator.

This uses EmulatorJS to enable playing the game in the browser, but this is a real Genesis/Mega Drive game that plays on real hardware!  You can download the ROM and give it a try in an emulator or even on the console if you have a flash cart.  The game was made using SGDK.

Nice looking new Mega Drive game. I also added it to my new "Gameplay of New Mega Drive/Genesis Games from October 2023 to 2024" video along with all the other newly released Mega Drive/Genesis games.

Thanks for playing my games!  Great video, it's very thorough.

interesting gfx lol idk how you got them to work so well did you use Julian's editor to make this game??? lol

Nope, I haven't heard of that.  I hand-drew all the pictures and took pictures of them.  Then I used Gimp to edit the graphics and Tiled for the level layout.  SGDK then automatically converts image assets for the Genesis/Mega Drive when compiling.  The game is written in C.
