The idea of an Im-lost game is good. Its a strong undercurrent of fear from childhood which can reappear in adulthood. The game could be frightening, so take care. One way out might be to make George a cat, so defering the direct feeling of Im-lost to the-cat-is-lost. See how it goes ...

Ta for the imagery, but I'd want to see George's sprites a bit bigger! Good adding your own. The bees would probably be two scenes alternated to give the idea of a moving swarm.

Its a pity that Scratch does not allow level designers to be used as Scratch lacks persistent (file) data. Mebbes one day it will. Sidescrollers are quite difficult in Scratch - see how you get on. This should be a Stage but is best as a Sprite with multiple images that move; a design flaw in Scratch, IMHO.

Overall - looks fine. Detail a level and some overview of 2-3 more. What does it look like when George gets home - how does the game end? Think of a funny ending!
