Hoshi Saga Wiki

**★ ★ Welcome to the Hoshi Saga Wiki! ★ ★**

**★**
*Hoshi Saga* is a series of browser puzzle video games started in 2007 by Yoshio Ishii (a.k.a. Nekogames). Gameplay involves interacting with each stage in order to find a star shape as its name translation from Japanese, "Star Search" (*星探*), suggests.

This wiki aims to gather and mantain relevant, detailed information on each entry of the series. However, it is still under construction. Anyone can help - including you!

**𝓲**
The oficial *Hoshi Saga* webpage at http://hoshisaga.jp/ lists all the games. However, since early 2021, when Adobe ended support for Adobe Flash Player, all the games that had been developed using Flash became largely unplayable (since 2019, Ishii has been developing new games using HTML5). Among software originated from efforts to preserve Flash games, this wiki recommends the browser game library Flashpoint Archive, which includes every Flash *Hoshi Saga* game.

## Description

Over a black background, a gray hexagon with a white laser rotates vertically whenever the cursor it moved. On the right are four surfaces that the laser reflects to when touched on.

Stage 9 (Hoshi Saga)

**Stage 9** is the ninth stage of *Hoshi Saga* and the *Hoshi Saga* triology. In the stage select menu, it is located at the second row and third column.

## Description

In front of a white background and above a gray floor, a gray triangle is attached to a dark gray dotted line on the top left, and slightly to the right of the middle, there is a gray arrow attached to another dark gray dotted line.

## Solution

While pressing and dragging on the arrow, the dark gray dotted line extends, determining the force of the shot after releasing the arrow. Drag the arrow as far as possible so that it hits maximum power and rotate it correctly so that it points to the piece on the top left. If the timing for the launch is correct, the arrow will overlap with the triangle, combining them into a star while the upper dotted line attached swings sideways continuously. If you miss it, the arrow will spawn back from where it was at the start.

## Trivia

* This stage is referenced on the nineteenth stage of *New Hoshi Saga* and on the first stage of *Hoshi Saga Monochromatic*.
Stage 11 (Hoshi Saga)

**Stage 11** is the eleventh stage of *Hoshi Saga* and the *Hoshi Saga* triology. In the stage select menu, it is located at the second row and fifth column.

## Description

Over a white background with a gray frame around the screen, a gray spike fades in on the top left of the inner area, with an incomplete star, lacking the top spike, on the bottom right on the floor.

## Solution

Press and hold anywhere on the inner area of the screen. The spike will start floating upwards (in a way that's similar to when something gets pushed by the force of a black hole) and tilt to the side that is opposite to the cursor's position. The farthest the cursor is from the spike while the mouse button is pressed, the more the spike will tilt to the side. If the cursor is released, the spike gains gravity. The goal is to control the spike and have it stand on the middle of the incomplete star to complete it. Make sure to control it gently, otherwise it'll hit the ground, walls, ceiling or the incomplete star and shatter into small pieces, making it respawn back to where it was before.

## Trivia

* This stage is referenced on the ninth stage of *Hoshi Saga Advent Calendar*.
Stage 4 (Hoshi Saga)

## Description

Over a dark gray background with light at the center, four curve-shaped light-gray pieces move from out of the screen to near the center of the screen quickly, forming an incomplete circumference.

## Solution

Press inside the circumference. As it disappears, a white spot similar to splashed paint will appear on the same place of the circumference. Then, an arrow at the bottom of the screen becomes visible. Hover the cursor over the arrow or near the area where it points to until it disappears. Following the arrow will cause the scene to move in the arrow's direction while creating a thick white line (again resembling paint) longer than the screen. When the arrow disappears, another incomplete circumference is formed at the end of the line. Repeat this process (note that the arrow appears in other spots of the screen and changes direction each time) until a line finishes in a pre-painted spot. The screen zooms out, revealing the image resulting from the lines and spots - a pentagram (a five-pointed star with the bottoms of each spike traced, making a smaller regular pentagon inside).

## Trivia

* This stage is referenced on the seventh stage of *Hoshi Saga Advent Calendar*.

## Solution

Click once the bottom shape is near to being below the middle one, so that it bounces up and they joint each other. Make sure to time it correctly, otherwise the bouncing shape will make the shape above it shake for a second before hitting the ground. After both the middle and bottom shapes are jointed, click once the two shapes are near below the topmost shape. The two shapes will bounce up to joint the topmost shape and will form a star.
