Hoshi Saga
Hoshi Saga is a series of mini point'n'click puzzles of varying difficulty (some are hyper simple, some will have you stumped for a while), all with the same goal - to collect the star. Despite being in monochrome the game succeeds in looking very nice indeed, and includes some novel navigation. You can pick and choose which ever order takes your fancy for playing the levels, although some are only unlocked once you have completed a block of the other puzzles. All in all there's plenty to keep you playing for some time, and it's rather a nice experience [subbed by winniethepooh].

I feel bad for those not able to type fast on 30... I can almost make it. But only almost.

KingofLeon, this one's for you ;)
Level 33


SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Hold your mouse button down and move fast from either the bottom left to top righ hand corners or the other way around (top right to bottom left) - you need to 'cut' the lines to reveal the star


Anyone want to help me with the light switch one?
:)

Lol, sorry KingofLeon, hadn't refreshed in a while, didn't realise this had been answered so manytimes already!!!

36 was vaguely dissapointing.

WARNING: ABSOLUTE SPOILER!!

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
It's just the game credits. Although I did find it kinda cute that all of them were Yoshio Ishii!

Can't wait for a second series Yoshio, maybe hexagons next time? Or flowers?

This game is ingenious. I'm not sure why stage 34 is rated as so difficult. It's quite simple once you get the hang of what you need to do.

I don't like this game much - they were either really really easy or really really hard - there was no happy medium! And the one with the little triangles sent me funny.

Ahh finished:) And didn't really need any help. Hooray!

I found 36 disappointing, too.

The one with the clock happened by luck. Haha

I know this is cheating for level 30, but i physically cant type that fast lol, go to http://www.download.com/3001-2094_4-10652389.html?idl=n then download, on the install screen it asks you for your name, set this to iwillfindastar , then simply press control+shift+/, do this a few times to complete the level.

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
For some reason you just need to wiggle the mouse around on the "weight" a lot until you get the dial to the end

I liked the last one, 35, with the light switch.

HINT: (click box to highlight/fade)
it's glow in the dark!


I found 12 the most annoying... having to draw with all those bouncy spikes/stars in the way...
And also 24, with the moving dot in a circle...

SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Eeee, you need to float it gently over to the rest of the star and ease it gently down, then you can carefully nudge it over. Try keeping your cursor slight under and just to the left of the peice your moving.

Comment 95, Tuesday, May 22nd 2007 05:34:31 PM

This may be one of the MOST enjoyable games I have ever played!!! What a great visual and mental challenge-some very easy, some very difficult.
KUDOS to the game designer.......I hope to see more from them in the future! I was getting PnC'ed to death lately with lower and lower quality games and lot's of bugs. None here.

Your welcome Eeee. Mylilsin, I finally did the string one. Its really hard to explain but try and picture in your mind drawing a star from top left to right and connect the strings as you do so. I was going spare with that one for hours I tell ya.
