Excellent game, would have been amazing to revisit previous level to unlock capabilities with the ones you get over time like in a metroidvania style, great game!

Very nice platformer! The art was so pretty and the atmosphere was perfect. It felt a bit weird when I tried switching snake/bee scales and would find myself having to walking back and forth to places that worked, should have only thrown the error when trying to change size scales. Other than that small problem, it was perfect!
The thing is, the player only really has to change his power scales once in the game, and I thought making the message appear only once you fully committed into the UI would make it feel even more annoying, since you'd have to retry from the start everytime. I just find that preventing the UI from being opened at all when you can't switch makes people find it more responsive once they actually can change scales.
Like you said, it's just a small problem, but I thought I'd just share my thought process. ;)
What do you think?
Anyways, thanks for playing! :D
I liked this game, it's a chill little puzzle platformer with nice pixel art!
