Yoshio Ishii has just released a sequel to his enormously popular puzzle game from May, thus creating a new entry in what will hopefully be a continued series of games bearing the Hoshi Saga name. 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.
There are 36 new levels to discover, and the level numbers pick up right where the first game leaves off. None of them are very difficult, but some may stump you for a bit until you figure out what it is you need to do.
Play the entire Hoshi Saga Series:
Analysis: I love games of discovery like this and I know I'm not alone. Hoshi Saga is very reminiscent of Andrew VanHeuklon's Click Drag Type series of puzzles, yet with each puzzle being of a smaller scale and all with a common goal. It is a very simple game to understand, and yet with so many ways to challenge your brain. The art, animation and interaction design is exceptionally creative just like the first one, with only one level in the bunch that will likely frustrate you before you're finished. All things considered, this one is sure to please.

Walkthrough Guide
(Please allow page to fully load for spoiler tags to be functional.)
Complete walkthrough:
The levels are ordered by number from the last game, so we start with 36. This guide is pretty in-depth, save for the surprises that occur when you solve the puzzles.
36.
Click one of the firecrackers before it fizzles out.
37.
Hold down the left mouse button, and let go when the four "legs" are fully stretched out.
38.
Click the two girls so that they are facing the boy, then click the boy.
39.
Mouse over all the men on the sidelines.
40.
Start with your mouse positioned below the dress of the rightmost woman. Sweep the mouse upward very fast. Naughty naughty.
41.
The correct star is slightly up and to the right of the center of the window.
42.
Time to test your reflexes. Catch a photo of the tip of a shooting star in your targeting recticule. (Anywhere within the range of the big box, including the little box.)
43.
Using your mouse, grab the bottom of the rectangle on the far right side of the screen. Hold onto it, then drag it up to flip it upside down and wait for the star to drop out.
44.
Drag the hexagon to the left to reveal a star.
45.
Try to pull the cylinder upwards. Keep pulling.
46.
Grab onto a shape. Pull your mouse along the circle, and keep spinning it in the same direction until you win this round.
47.
Whoo, this is a toughie. When you click, then pull across a glass, it plays a note. Pull in the other direction to play the note again, or let go to use another glass.
Play the entire "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" song without screwing up. If you screw up, the sheet music disappears.
48.
Grab that darker tip thing and put it up against the surface on the left side of the screen.
49.
You know stage 43? Go to it.
One of the boxes drops a bomb when you tip it over.
Go back to stage 49. The same bomb will drop from the stage above it (!!!). Click it to light it up. Then watch.
50.
The star is behind the moon. Pull the stuff blocking your view out of the way fast. Including the moon.
51.
Hold down the mouse button on each screw till the panel falls off.
52.
Grab the spiky ball, then shake it vigorously.
53.
Grab onto the column and pull to the left or right. Keep doing this.
54.
Stack up the pieces to form a star. If you get it wrong, exit and enter the stage again.
55.
Grab the cube and pull it up higher than the top of the game screen, then drop it.
56.
Carefully pull all three sheets as far as you can.
57.
Blast the center, and do all the sides before they fade away.
58.
Grab the ball. Drop it above the bar, in the second dark column.
59.
You ever played Hogan's Alley? Juggle the block in the air by repeatedly shooting it.
60.
Grab the top-middle part of the bar-shaped object. Drag it across to the right side of the screen.
61.
There's a square in the top left corner. Pull it out to reveal a line guide.
Line up the guide so that the intersecting lines are aligned directly with the cross on the odd pointy thing.
In this fashion, line up each point so that each one is facing a different point on a star, if all of them were to be pressed together.
The head should be lined up with the top vertical guide line. This should already be done for you anyway.
The top "arms" of the star should be lined up with the lines that are two lines down from the top vertical guide line line.
The bottom "legs" should be lined up with the two lines pointing down, just next to the bottom vertical guide line.
It will automatically end when you get them all correct.
62.
Check carefully around the lower left middle part of the screen (it's near the center, so don't go TOO far) for an area that shades itself into a black star when you click on the right spots.
63.
Mouse over the circle. Move the mouse clockwise while it's on the circle. Keep the mouse over the circle while you're doing this.
64.
If you click on the circles in a certain order, the lines will eventually form into a star. The circle in the center will reset the lines if you click on it.
65.
If you did the first game, this stage isn't nearly as horrific or difficult as the first. Just type out the phrase, then grab the screen and give it a good yank.
66.
Pull on the white tip on the bottom of the screen SLOWLY. Let go when you can see the whole thing.
67.
Click the man's nose to reveal nose hairs. Mouse over them (EW...) to pull them out, revealing a nose hair star. Ugh.
68.
Wherever you click, those squares will spin in a 3x3 pattern. Align all the pieces to form a star.
69.
Quickly memorize the pattern (or take a screenshot), then click on the parts to match up with the center, and hit the center button to see how you did.
70.
Toughie. Click on the hexagon to grab onto it, then carefully guide it to the end of the maze. YOU MUST NOT TOUCH ANY WALLS. Note that it only rotates when you are touching a "rotation" zone, and you'll want to turn the tip around when you see the first one. At the sharp blocks, wait until both jut out, then scamper by when both pull into the wall at the same time. At the second rotation spot, you carefully have to align your shape to fit through that area without being crushed by the side at the same time. Prepare to be here a while.
71.
Credits. YAY!
