Last Monday we started your week off with Plupon, a beautiful and enjoyable new game from Yoshio Ishii of Nekogames in Japan. And it looks like he's been busy lately because we have another new entry to share from his prolific studios.
Hoshi Saga is a simple game of discovery. One part point-and-click and one part puzzle game, the objective in each of the game's 36 stages is to find the star. How you go about doing that is different for every stage. The task is up to you to figure out how.
There are 25 stages to explore freely as you wish, with another 11 stages that must be unlocked by completing rows and columns of stages that appear on the stage select menu. The menu also shows the relative difficulty for each stage represented by a number of highlighted stars (out of 5).
Analysis: Like most of his games, Hoshi Saga combines unique interaction design with simple yet effective graphics that together form an engaging and compelling experience. Some stages are easy and that's the hook. Once you discover how simple and yet irresistible these unique little puzzle games are, you'll be coming back to this again and again until you've solved them all. Thankfully an integrated save system is employed to save your progress across sessions.
Just right to get those brain cells jumping with inspiration and excitement on a Monday. Play Hoshi Saga.
Update: Now there's a Hoshi Saga 2!!!
Cheers to Cherrymad for the link. =)
About the pg13 rating: In my opinion, as well as many others who visit here, this game should be labelled kidsafe. Were it not for a very minor occurrence of a bit of 'sexy' subject matter in level 26, there would be no question that this is an excellent game to play with your kids. As parents, the decision is always left up to you.

Haha! I finally finished 30

guys, for 30 (iwillfindastar)

as for 12... i know what to do, just cant do it :(
How the heck do you do 28 it's impossible 33 and 18 are really easy don't know how people can't do them
for 33 you

and for 18 you have to

What the heck 403 forbidden it says i am forbidden why? i played it before :(
Yeah, I just tried it too and it won't load. Bummer.
Yeah, it seems to be forbidden from 28-th May 2007
Yay, I finally did it! That blasted 12 with its spikes had me here for ages but now I can go home :)
Awesome game. Thanks for the entertainment Jay.
How did you guys get it to work?
Here's an alternative but temporary link to everyone wants to play it, since the main link is down at the moment:
http://media.fizzlebot.com/hoshisaga.php
Thanks Danaroth. That link originated from here, and is already mentioned in an update to the review above, and most of the above links point to it as well.
If you really want to pass level 30 (can do this for I think every stage) :

For the typing one. if you have help of a friend put your fingers on you right hand on I, L, N and on your left hand put you fingers on A, S, D, F and for your friend have him put his fingers on W, R, T. when it starts start rolling your fingers all at once and it should make it after a couple of tries.
i think the people who are having trouble with lvl 33 are actually having trouble with lvl 30
Am I only one who can't do #19 ?????
interesting game. finished it in about 13 minutes all without a hitch.

What a disappointment the credits were. I was hoping for a contact form to enter my name and address so the author could send me money for playing his game.
Actually, I have grown to appreciate seeing the names of the people that worked hard to create the wonderful interactive experiences that engage me long enough to make it to the credits. So, when seeing the credits in a game, I know I have reached the pinnacle, and it is rewarding to me because of that.
why can't i finish #5 and #28?? arrr! help.
Laura: Have you taken a look at the first comment of this page? There are hints for every level of the game.
And about that kid-safe thing? Ridiculous. No nudity, a barely sexual theme if at all. Very tastefully done.
All in all, a very tasteful game. Leave it to the Japanese to do something as elegant!
idk why everyone has so much trouble with 30... oh well, i thought it was easy.
12 on the other hand. i gave up on it. i can't beat the game because i refuse to play level 12 ever again.
Good Game

i can`t get #5
#1 reminds me of Mario, for some reason
Help, I'm so stuck on 13!
Perhaps it is because I have a touch pad rather than a mouse???
I freaking HATE level 12. It's killing me. D:
It's the only one I need to make #36 show up. -killsself-
i kept trying in stage 33 but nothing seem to happen HELP ME!
Hey everyone, um im having trouble finding how the spoiler thingy works. I've gone onto spoiler help but when you preview it should it say " show spoiler " or what you've typed.
Thanx
Marz
The preview should show exactly what will be shown in the comments i.e. if you have included a spoiler the preview should show up

What is happening with your one?

Arrrgggg - I write a lot for a living but can't type fast enough to clear 30!!! For some reason the character combos keep tripping me up... very sad...
- Joe
i followed the walktrough and Merricat's 11 help, but the little point keeps breaking on the star!!! I don't get it!!!
Ahhhhhhh! I cant beat Level 24!! I dont understand that
Are there any spoilers for the second game?
I have been dragging the mouse back and forth across #33 from the top left to the bottom right over and over and over. It doesn't work. I think it's broken.
Level 21

You move mouse up and down until they are closest they will get, the move left and right and do the same.
Repeat until you get it.
Level 21

Click on bottom of top grey bar about 1/3 along. Keep clicking until it cracks. Eventually, the star will fall down
i need help on 40..
