Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a little side project that grew out of Paper Dog. It's a new idle clicker minigame called Drowsy Doze! 🎊

I came up with the idea a couple weekends ago during a game jam where the theme was "Only one button." This game aims to be a cozy mini-experience starring the same mole character from Paper Dog. In fact, I plan to make tapping the mole in the main menu open up the minigame. Each tap earns you points to unlock new sprites, pixel art, sounds — and maybe even tunes later on. The goal was to capture that feeling of dozing off and dreaming.

What’s implemented so far:

• Tap-based point system that tracks and saves your progress
• Unlockable artwork and environment changes (lanterns, stars, bubbles, sleep accessories)
• Sound and sprite reveals that evolve the world as you idle or click

What’s next:

• More pixel art, more rewards, more content
• Polishing and refinements
• Tying it directly into Paper Dog as a break-time minigame

Right now, it’s still rough around the edges — not polished enough yet for a Newgrounds release (trying to avoid those low-star early ratings 😅). But I’m really proud of how it’s coming together. The vibes are chill, the mole’s cool, and the unlock pacing feels decent so far.

I can't wait to deploy this for people to enjoy.

Thanks for following along! If you’re curious or have feedback, I’d love to hear it.
