I really love this type of game and enjoined playing yours.
The graphics is charming. It's simple and polished at the same time.
I wish the game characters have better animation, because the dragon movements were a bit confusing for me.
The sound track is awesome by the way.
Good work!
The gameplay is very friendly.
Music pairs very well with the game design.
It spent a peaceful time. Thanks ^^
I can't go really far because my laptop doesn't support mousewheel.
Also, the game graphics are really cool, great job on that side ! The music too is relaxant and with the theme.
The intro is simple but nice, easy to understand.
I found a bug, when in editor mode, you can move the "baloon" by moving a select platform and play with the collision.
Otherwise this is great job, continue !
Anyway, beautiful game and good mood !
There seems to be a bug in the intro section which makes it so that you have to click twice for each dialog prompt.
There are also 3 different fullscreen buttons (one on Ludum Dare's site, one on the itch.io embed, and one in the Unity webgl export). You should probably try to set it up so that you only need one.
Nice game overall, pretty graphics, relaxing music.
Aesthetically it was quite pleasing, the relaxing music and the easy on the eyes art was a great match as well as a great Chinese theme.
Music was great, the sound effects of the string for actions was a good touch.
As for the game play the game was quite unforgiving. The platforms didn't always behave as expected and the need to get the pearl directly into the arms was rather frustrating.
Good overall, great job!
Mouse was very unresponsive. It was never sure if I could select something or not.
Most levels also have alternative ways to finish. :)
The only thing that bothers me is level design:
It is possible to complete the first level with just 1 platform used (put it near the emperor), the second with only 1 jumper (right angle) and the third one only with a rocket (put near the ball), the fourth with 3 jumpers only.
Great submission anyway.
I'm not sure why you'd say it has no content, both the mechanics are here and there are a lot of levels to play, nothing is missing.
The Chinese style is really well done throughout the game, and the level design is interesting.
Very well done, and indeed polished!
I also really dug the music notes hitting as you placed a piece down or clicked.
