hoshi saga ringoen
Yoshio Ishii just finished another episode in the fine hoshi saga 'find the star' puzzle series! Enjoy hoshi saga ringoen.
SPOILERS/HINTS Anonymous: 55: Just click, click, click, click, click, click and fly ;). 60: Click the things in the right order (sky and rainbow are two different things). You'll know when you make a mistake. 65: Remove the screws. A bit of exploring reveals some numbers. And I do not know what to do with them. 71: Click the parts in the right order. You'll know when you make a mistake. 72: Bounce off the yellow bit, avoid the blue. 74: Starting from the inside: first circle is connected with the fourth, second with the last, third with the first, fourth with the second and the last with the third. Notice that the connections aren't symetrical: first controls fourth, but fourth controls the second one. Well, just line them up and create the star. It'll probably take a while.
the golden letters are roman numerals for levels 61-65 and the chalk numbers are the clicks you have to click in each level in order to get the green light to go on
Must quit for now. I still quite stuck on 74. If anyone figures out the order in which to turn the circles please post it. Thanks to everyone for all the help!
WOW. Just discovered that 74 is way easier than it looks. Here's what to do:
Start with ANY circle. You then move the circle that moved when you moved the first. You just keep going like that: it's showing you the order to move them in!
Level 70: You pull the bigger flashing diamond beyond a smaller flashing diamond then let it ping. It will form a twinkling trail. Go from diamond to diamond until you make the star.
Level 59: Just be gentle with the balance and you can also shift the shapes a little too to line them up.
Got them all without any help! I am SO proud of myself :)
Anonymous: For level 75 just click on one of the silver paths the kids are making. The star will appear.
For level 74, Lotti, it will take a bit of trial and error. Move the circles in this order: 5, 3, 1, 4, and 2. The outer ring will be off again. Move it halfway towards where it needs to be and move all other circles again as well. Eventually they will line up.
For level 53 you need to line up the upper fence so that it will push the lower fence into the proper alignment for the star. The two longest boards will need to be lined up so theu push the two outer boards with the star on them down.
Oh, and for 59: You can actually "hold" the pieces on the scale. Tip the scale all the way to the left, then to the right, and while the pieces slide to the right hold the right piece in place. Ta daa!
LEVEL 74-> From the outside in, start by moving the 4th circle so it matches the 2nd. Then move the 3rd so it matches the 1st. Now move the 2nd so both the 4th and 2nd match the center, and finally the 1st so both the 1st and 3rd match the rest.
I have followed the instructions for level 65 (I think). It says that the roman numerals are the levels. Is this the actual level (play the level over again with the proper clicks?) it self, or right on the screen with the roman numerals and how many clicks?
It is the only level I have left excluding the last one because it is not available.
@anon at 01.26.. Thank you so much for solution to 74, I was following your instructions so intently, I actually jumped at the ding of solution ! Thanks again!
Thank you for demonstrating how to do "nevermind" properly. You GAVE THE SOLUTION. This is the polite way to do it. As Stephen demonstrated, you were not the only person in the universe who had trouble on 65, and so instead of just saying "nevermind" you payed it forward and helped the next person. Well done.
Help me please! In lvl 64, how do you understand where the star will be? Is it random? I can't manage to solve it in just one click!! (in order to get level 65 straight). help!!
Stephen, it's the actual levels that you will have to complete in *so* many clicks. But I'm sure you've figured that out by now.
By the way - I spent a good chunk of my day yesterday solving all the other hoshi saga puzzles. The early ones are all in black and white. I am glad Yoshio Ishii found the technicolor button ;) Can't wait for the next round!
Finished the game, but I never figured out whether there's a way to predict where the star will be in level 64, or if it's just dumb luck that you end up in the right place. If somebody finds a way, please tell me because I kind of feel like the puzzle isn't really solved until you figure that out.
Fun, some nice puzzles, but far too uneven. Some are instant, on sight; at least 2 I solved without ever knowing how or why; yet others are really hard and took many tries.
But 65 is just too hard. The pattern is entirely novel, and unclued. I solved the puzzles down columns; 65 is much easier if you solve across rows. Easy enough when you know what to do, but once stuck you are going to be be stuck a long time.
YAY! I AM FIRST!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE HOSHI SAGA GAMES! THANKS BART!

ReplyDeletePlease, some help with 65? I have a green dot with a four and I've found 4 more numbers hidden.
ReplyDeleteStuck on 65, 71, and 74. Help please!
ReplyDeleteI just dont get number 65 - the "4" number seems to be connected to the number of screws, buts thats all ive got.. :(
ReplyDeleteThanks to Dominik! I got all of them other than 65 and 74. Are there any other clues that you have that can help?
ReplyDelete!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!
ReplyDeleteSolved 65 =]
the golden letters are roman numerals for levels 61-65 and the chalk numbers are the clicks you have to click in each level in order to get the green light to go on
65.. OMG
ReplyDeleteIn 65 the numbers are related to the scores in the relevant puzzles from 61-65...
ReplyDeleteHello, I feel stupid because I can't get #53 which is not supposed to be difficult. Any hints please?
ReplyDeletecan't make stage 58!! someone please help!? :(

ReplyDeleteLevel 54: Roll the circles to the left and line them up to make the star.
ReplyDeletefor 53: pull the top around to the left. its pretty much trial and error, i just kept trying at it.
ReplyDelete@ Bart Bonte
ReplyDeleteYou got everyone buzzin' man =]

I'm totally stuck in the 59! I don't understand if I do wrong or right! Please could someone help me?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
74 just goes right over my head
ReplyDeleteOk, that was much easier as I thought...
ReplyDeleteLevel 70: You pull the bigger flashing diamond beyond a smaller flashing diamond then let it ping. It will form a twinkling trail. Go from diamond to diamond until you make the star.
ReplyDeleteLevel 59: Just be gentle with the balance and you can also shift the shapes a little too to line them up.
Anyone figure out level 75? I haven't a clue what to do.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. I managed it, although I've no idea how.
ReplyDeleteOk, I really don't have any idea for 75...
ReplyDeleteOk, I've got it :
ReplyDeletespoiler
The two boys show with their finger where the star is... There is a bug (?) when you press TAB, you'll see where you have to click!...

ReplyDeleteYeah, finally a new Hoshi-Game. It's really nice, but unfortunately (like the last one) way too easy :(
ReplyDeleteI prefer it when they were really hard like the first few :D
JACKSPARROW: you are my hero. thank you for posting 65. i believe you have earned the title of captain.
ReplyDeleteLEVEL 74-> From the outside in, start by moving the 4th circle so it matches the 2nd. Then move the 3rd so it matches the 1st. Now move the 2nd so both the 4th and 2nd match the center, and finally the 1st so both the 1st and 3rd match the rest.
ReplyDeleteGreat game! Love Hoshi Saga!

ReplyDeleteI dont't get 58!!!!! Can anyone help??
ReplyDeleteNevermind! You just gotta follow it and wait until you think it's full!! It takes patience and time....
ReplyDeleteI have followed the instructions for level 65 (I think). It says that the roman numerals are the levels. Is this the actual level (play the level over again with the proper clicks?) it self, or right on the screen with the roman numerals and how many clicks?

Yay! Completed all levels with no hints.

ReplyDeleteCarly,
ReplyDeleteYour way of getting lvl 74 made the most sense. Thank you!
It was still annoying to get it. I virtually had it but had to keep fiddling a bit more than I thought was necessary. Finally gave me credit.
@Carly
ReplyDeleteI love you.
Thank you for the solution of level 74.
I'm glad I could be of service :D

ReplyDeletefor 64, the position of the star is related to the starting point of the little man:D
ReplyDeleteLove love love these games...
ReplyDeleteI don't understand 65! Completed 61-64 in the right number of clicks- 2 green lights, then 3 when I did the screws again - then back to 2lights???!!
ReplyDeleteThe last level won't load, even though I finished all the other levels. I don't know why.
ReplyDeletethank you people!!! i finally got 65!!
ReplyDeleteVery entertaining, very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your help on level 65 :)
