Oh noooooooo you got through it just with the roll? How did you do that? You did sequence break haha
I miscalculated the soft locks I had in place! Try and take the left path this time and use the smash as well. You are 100% correct in your assumptions, using the log does help you move around by changing them from horizontal and vertical and vice versa.
(try getting all the bees by sequence breaking hahahahahaaa [plz don't])
