A downloadable Gerbil Jumping Game for Windows and macOS

This game was made for the One Button Game Jam, where you have to make a game using only one button. You jump from pole to pole as a gerbil and try to avoid being caught by the cat. In Survival mode, you try to survive for as long as possible without getting caught. In Get Through The Hall mode, you will see an arrow on your gerbil, indicating what way to go to get through the corridor, but stay away from the cat! There are 5 gerbils to choose, based on my real life pets: Mandy, Sandy, Trickie, Allie, and Ellie , who passed away in June (Not due to any cats).
