hoshisaga advent calendar [browser]
Yoshio Ishii just released another episode in the hoshi saga 'find the star' puzzle series. Can you find the star in all the scenes of Hoshisaga Advent Calendar?
If you love pixel hunting, your going to hate it in the dark. Don't bother with the useless hints. I can't type that fast! Even when I know for sure that piece was correct it restarts! I used to love these games but now I just feel old & grumpy. Time to put Rub-A535 on my shoulder.
If you don't feel like finding a rot13 decoder just to find out the "figured out" wasn't particularly helpful, here's a hint. Level 22 involves finding slider #1 and slider #5 by going to the menu and clicking on the (left to right and right to left) switching arrows. Then you can complete the star.
I think you're confusing levels 20 and 22. 20 is the one with the sliders, 22 is the one with the long red-pink lines going diagonal across the screen.
THIS IS THE BEST XMAS PRESENT EVER!!
ReplyDeleteLoved it until #9. Took some ninja skills I don't have.

ReplyDeleteI can't make sense of the anon's hint regarding level 22.
ReplyDeleteFor 22, fynfu guebhtu gur yvarf yvxr n fjbeq.
ReplyDeleteAfter all these years, I wish he'd get past thinking that tugging on someone else's bikini is entertaining.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate the help on 20, (not 22). I knew it had to be SOMETHING like that, but didn't dig deep enough into the menus....
ReplyDeleteFinished with the help of my loving wife!
ReplyDeleteSeemed easier than some of the previous ones. The hardest one for me was #9, the "lunar lander" level.
ReplyDeleteNow I need to solve levels 14 and 22.
ReplyDelete16,23 HELP MY
ReplyDelete@Smowler - I agree. That level needs to be permanently retired.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: 16,23 HELP MY
ReplyDeleteFor 16, see Ed Murphy's candle hint above.
For 23, type the phrase as fast as you can, over and over.
Good other than the bikini level.
ReplyDelete16 is also similar hint to 20
