A platformer where you're a dog running through sad world collecting happy coins to help your hooman.
The sprite animations in this game are surprisingly fantastic, really fluid and pretty. The backgrounds and tiles look nice as well, I really like the use of different palettes/colors for different sections.
The physics are good, but could really use a coyote jump mechanic to prevent some silly-looking deaths. Ignoring that, though, I really like the level design. There were some dangerous close-quarters moments that were really fun to escape from.
The coins are a great addition. I know that's a pretty default and expected thing to have in a platformer, but that's because it's just inherently satisfying to collect shiny things, and this is a great example of that.
Other than that, the sad mask enemies are very clever, considering the game's topic. The sound design is good, but the sound effects (the coins) are MUCH louder than the music, and may startle the player. The ending was really sweet too, of course.
