Hoshi Saga 1 and 2

Hoshi Saga 2

In Hoshi Saga 2, you are presented with a series of mini-games and the object of each is to find a hidden star. How the star is hidden and how you find it varies with each game. It’s kind of Wario Ware-ish in that the fun comes from figuring out what you’re supposed to be doing (minus the time pressure).

The levels are presented in a grid, and at the end of each row and column is a hidden mini-game that can only be accessed once every other game in the row/column is beaten. Beating all the hidden games unlocks the credits.

The games are all very clever, and beautifully presented. Quite lovely!

And be sure to try Hoshi Saga 1, too.

    This is pretty cool :)

    There are two that I can’t work out, though, and they’re keeping me from continuing to the end… A5 (40) and F6 (65) - they’re a total mystery to me :(

    B6 (47) is my favourite!

  2. Derek said about 1 hour later:

    Hints:

    A5 (40) - This was the hardest for me. I’ll just say that it requires no clicking.

    E6 (65) - Try something different with this one.

  3. Terry said about 2 hours later:

    Ah, got the F6 (65) one, cheers :)

    I may need another hint with A5 though, heh.

    Imagine you are a dirty old Japanese man…

  5. Bobjim said about 3 hours later:

    Blarg, can someone just tell me how to do 40?

  6. teasel said about 4 hours later:

    can’t do 61

  7. Terry said about 4 hours later:

    61 I can do! Drag down the thing in the top left hand corner over each piece, and rotate each into the “appropriate” position. They’ll all fall on top of each other once you’ve got it.

    Seriously, 40, anyone… I feel like I’m missing something really obvious…

  8. Gamwich said about 4 hours later:

    40 is a bit hard to figure out…it requires to be really fast with your mouse.

  9. Terry said about 4 hours later:

    Well, I don’t appear to be able to interact with it whatsoever. I officially give up :(

  10. Blueberry_pie said about 7 hours later:

    Quickly (very quickly - might take a few tries) move the mouse upwards over each of the skirts… One of them should, uh, contain the star.

  11. Terry said about 7 hours later:

    Ah feck - finally got 40. I was expecting something clever - that’s just badly designed :(

    To finish it: Put the cursor in the bottom black bit inside the flash box, and quickly move your cursor to the top black bit, again, inside the flash box. If you go outside the window it doesn’t work, hence my frustration :(

  12. contra said about 11 hours later:

    Useally I’m really anti-flash but I really like these games. Casual gaming at its best. Also one of the few I’ve gotten my girlfriend to play and enjoy.

  13. Radnom said about 12 hours later:

    Gah, is there a star in the credits? the level select screen looks like there should be one. I can’t seem to do anything though.

  14. John said about 13 hours later:

    I don’t think there is, but who knows. I beat it though, was a great time killer between classes

  15. Advenith said about 13 hours later:

    I’m playing the first one, but I’m stuck on the one that looks like the sun on the horizon…

  16. Parasiet said about 13 hours later:

    Ah finished 1 and 2 now, was good fun, and Advenith if you mean D3 (stage 21), take a look at the small picture in the stage select screen ;)

  17. moi said about 15 hours later:

    What about E2 hmm?

  18. Stwelin said about 16 hours later:

    done with em all! took me forever to do the “twinkle twinkle little star” one, but i hate to leave it undone. :0)

  19. Lackey said 1 day later:

    What do you have to do in the twinkle twinkle one? I seem to have completed the melody but notes stop appearing and nothing seems to happen.

  20. moi said 1 day later:

    You have to play the whole melody by following the notes that appeared on the partition, I found this one easy.

    So now, what am I supposed to do in E2?

  21. Blueberry_pie said 1 day later:

    E2 is stage 61, right? You need to rotate the pieces so that they form a star when they’re on top of each other. There’s a small box in the top left corner that you can drag to reveal a guide.

  22. moi said 1 day later:

    I can manage to have only two to overlap, maybe I’m dumb?

  23. moi said 1 day later:

    AH got it now!
