-The collision box for the toads is too big. You should be able to walk past the toad on level 4.

-It should switch fairies when you release X instead of having to press it twice. Same applies for throwing.

-When switching fairies, it should show status icons for all fairies in the level so you can easily keep track of them.

-Launch pads need to be faster.

-Pressing Z near a strong fairy with a normal fairy should make the strong fairy pick up the normal fairy, and then automatically switch to the strong fairy.

-You should be able to put down fairies without throwing them.

-Add the ability to manually control the camera for the bigger levels.

Thanks for the feedback!

I will try to position the toads more carefully to not give an ilussion of walkable terrain. They are supossed to be chonky and block some paths.
Nice idea for switching. For throwing most testers found the current system intuitive enough and it would make it impossible to cancel a throw.
I can think about a way to show fairies out of the screen. When I tried to add a fairies status bar, nobody really payed attention to it.
Some launchpads are slow for puzzle reasons. Or for comedic effect.
The interaction is on the complex side for this game. Also I have planned animations when fairies get poked.
Under most situations, droping a fairy and throwing it is basically the same and I don't have a key free to give it that functionality. Also there are some puzzles which will use the inability to not drop fairies.
I prefer to make the player explore the level by moving their characters around.
