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. This game is pretty addicting! It’s not an easy game so feel free to help each other out.

Hoshi Saga Guide, By FireIsGood
Guide as I go!
1.Click box in middle of screen
2.”Punch out” star shape in bottom right corner
3.Spin handle clockwise
4.Click the targets, and mouse over arrows
5.Spin each circle until they the smallest one is touching side of biggest, then spin biggest circle to discover star
6.Click seed, click blossoms until butterflys come
7.Mouse over pile at bottom until they all arrange themselves
8.Break off extra points to make star
9.Pull back the arrow on the right to full power and shoot it directly at other peice
10.Mouse over circles in bottom left quadrant until star is complete (quadrants are when you split the screen into fours)
11.Ever play spaceship lander? Easy does it! Balance the top part properly.
12.Hold down mouse over the circle, the circle creates the outline of the star, if you hit one of the smaller stars, you have to start over, dodge and good luck, this one may take awhile.
13.Picture yourself fishing for a star, pull it up out of the water on your squigly fishing line.
14.Click the dotted line and click the ripples in the water to show the points of the star, if you don’t get them all on the first pass, click the dotted line again to go again.
15.Mouse over the triangles, they break apart and arange the star
16.Lift up the biggest circle and let it bounce itself into shape.
17.It’s a peice of paper, fold in the top left corner to reveal the star
18.Click when the circle is at the very top, then count out six(6) more circles and click again on the sixth one, do so until you have all 5 points of the star. If you miss the sixth one, click randomly until it restarts
19.Put the mouse near the middle of the screen, slightly below and to the right, play with it until the star is complete
20.Complete the puzzle, move the peices to the middle and fit them in place, look at the direction the points are facing for proper placement
21.Click the ceiling in the top left corner of that “room” until the star falls out, if you have the right place, you will hear a noise with each click
22.Drag the circles toward the middle until the star has been formed
23.Spin the smudge on the far left counter-clockwise to unblur the image
24.Drag one of the cirlces (at the bottom of the baloon rope) into each of the diamonds, the star will appear attatched to the bottom.
25.Boucne the bottom part of the star into the middle half, then bounce that part into the top
26.Drag down the bathing suit bottom
27.Hold mouse button down on dark part until the liquid drains away
28.Starting from the right, click the circles on the line this number of times: 2, 9, 12, 6, 8
29. It is as if you are drawing the star using skipping ropes that are too long, connect them in the right way: top = bottom right,
bottom right = top left,
top left = top right,
top right = bottom left
bottom left = top
It also works in reverse order
30.Type “I will find a star”, over fast before the time runs out.
31.Pump up the air pressure by moving the mousr over the circle over and over.
32.Tilt the tree to the right so the star slides down
33.Your supposed to cut that rope thing and the star is there, but it is a little tricky… it takes a long time to slice, I tried it a few times after I got it, and it can be VERY hard.
34.Click the arrows to complete the star:
On the left wall, one at the top,
on the bottom, third and fifth ones,
on the right, second from bottom,
on the top, far right one
35.Glow in the dark stars, keep the light on for thirty seconds (watch the clock), then turn it off
The last one is a trick, it’s the credits.
You wern’t kidding when you said it was addicting.
nice, that was fast =) Thanks for the walkthrough
Uhhh… someone just pointed out to me that there is a walkthrough on the same page as the game… somewhere in the middle…. I wasted a lot of time.
“33.Your supposed to cut that rope thing and the star is there, but it is a little tricky… it takes a long time to slice, I tried it a few times after I got it, and it can be VERY hard.”
how do you cut it
you cut it by holding down the mouse and moving it across the lines for me it was about two thirds of the way down.
it wont let me on the game anymore:(
[...] Yoshio Ishii has just released a sequel to his enormously popular flash game, Hoshi Saga. In Hoshi Saga 2, the goal remains the same: find the star in each level. Some you will find by clicking, others by moving the mouse. You will have to approach each one with an open mind if you are to find them all. I will post a walkthrough later under comments below. [...]
For the rope you just click in the middle and run the mouse kind of up down but from the bottom left to bottom right a bit
