Thanks for playing Vex! I was struggling to come up with an idea this week 😆
I think the link to the theme came to me when I was walking the dogs. I was running through how to interpret the words within the theme differently, and landed on middle of the earth!
Coming up with the link first is hard, as I then have to try fit a game into the idea. I prototyped a few falling with the ring mechanics, being able to dash, having the player actually disappearing when you use the ring, and landed on the core game that I released pretty quickly after testing 😄
