JayHoshi SagaLast 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.

i just cant get numbers 11 and 29 !!! help please !!

god someone please help with number 33 !! im soo confused thanks !

Haha! I finally finished 30

image
with one second left!

guys, for 30 (iwillfindastar)

image
you might find it easier to type it with a space, so ou are infact typing i will find a star...
. i could not do it when i tried the first way, but succeeded with 3 seconds left to go :D

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

image
have to imagine you mouse is a sword cutting the line. Start at the bottom left corner and keep slashing from bottom left to top right

and for 18 you have to
image
click on every fifth circle only when the circle is highlighted while going round, they should make points of s star.

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) :

image
I had to right click and click play , do this twice

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.

image
the credits were a let down tho

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

image
But the credits were horrible, plus the only thing I understood was that neko means cat. The rest of the game is fine. They should make a second one.

want to know how to get past 21

image
you move the mouse around the faint circle on the
second to the top left

holy crap stage 36 is impossible

Level 30 is much easier if you do a macros :p

ahh i still can't get 33.. im dragging from bottom left to top right but its not doing anything

i'm stuck on 29 can someone help me ????

i cant do 35 can someone help?

I'm so happy!I love it!

GAAHHHHHH!!!! Can someone help me on #24???

28.

image
28. Click 2 times on the right dot, 9 times on the dot to the left, 12 times on the other dot left, 6 times on another left dot, and 8 dots on the final dot untill a star appears

29

veeery interesting.... beat the whole game, but one thing about one of the stages:

image
the underwear one was kinda inappropriate. they should've done something else. otherwise, i kinda like it. the spikey ball thing was annoying though. the ending was, in my opinion, very disappointing.

how do you complete level 29

That is just an amazing game!!! 20 minutes of enjoying it and I only used 1 tip!!!
Congratulations!

beautiful, with a very clever twist! (but level 33 bugs me)

for no.21 click on the top lefthand corner and drag back . i love this game so much is there a sequel coming out soon??????/

on the level 34 just click and drag up and down cross the lines

Could anyone help with 34? I can't seem to figure out the correct sequence...

I can't get stage 33 either. I am dragging in every direcion, diagonal and all, just can't make anything happen, please help me!

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

image
with what you wanted in the spoiler shown here when you click on it, just like in the comments.

What is happening with your one?

i get level 33 now. for all those that need help on it

image
when you go to "slash" click and drag from one side and keep holding down the button as you go over it a few times. you have to keep going over the thing to cut it. think of using a saw to cut through a pipe.

i have to admit... level 30 and 33 really got me.

Hey all i hear your having trouble with 33. Heres a little help

image
So your on 33 and there is the grey/black line try and find the middle of it hold down the left mouse button and vertically slice it, if the middle of the page doesnt work try a bit to the left. You need to slash really fast if you want to find it.

Hoshi saga 2 is out now. Not as good as hoshi saga 1 though heres the link.

HUGGS FOR YOU ALL!!!

manual for stage 21

find sound point by clicking everywhere in the top gray line

when you find it, click on it again and again....its the point, where you can find the star

i ony used 1 hint to beat the game thanks for the hepl

Ha, i'm done with the game :) and i feel so proud of myself ^^

HELP!!

what r the arrows needed for #34!!!

I completed it without cheats ;D last level is just staff credits :P

OMG I finished the game!!!!!! finally!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!!!!!!

i know how to do all of the levels!!!

image
you do them one by one but when you get on a level just right click and press play, then do it again and there you go!!!!

i havent got sound on my pc so i cant hear the "tink" on level 21, can someone give me more exact location of where i need to click??

someone do a screenshot of 34 please!!

image
i need help with the arrows! 34!

For everyone stuck at 11:

image
What the walkthrough doesn't mention is that you need to KEEP CLICKING under the "point." Think of the point as a feather, and the mousepoint is puffing air up at it, wafting it down and to the right.

I don't know about anyone else, but it took me bleepin' FOREVER to figure that out.

JAKE! Oh, thank you thank you THANK YOU for your diagram of #29. I was going absolutely batty over it!

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

image

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

image

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..
