Hoshi Saga 3 has just launched over at Yoshio Ishii's site, Nekogames. If you're unfamiliar with the Hoshi Saga series, then you're in for a treat as there are now several full games for you to experience. For the uninitiated, Hoshi Saga is a simple game of discovery. One part point-and-click and one part puzzle game, the objective in each stage is to find the star. How you go about doing that is different for every level. The task is up to you to figure out how.
Play the entire Hoshi Saga Series:
In this edition, there are 20 stages to explore freely as you wish, with another 16 stages that must be unlocked by completing rows and columns of stages that appear on the stage select menu. The menu also shows a stage's relative difficulty represented by a number of highlighted stars (out of 5).
Games of discovery have the potential to spark the imagination and exercise parts of the brain that are seldom touched. These are the most refreshing of experiences, and the Hoshi Saga series succeeds in taking you places you've never been before.

Walkthrough solutions for all stages
Click until you've destroyed every one of the blocks
That's a stack of... something. Drag them up to search for the star!
Draw the OUTLINE of a star using all ten points. (I kept trying to thread the five points in the middle.)
When do you see stars?
Those are stamps, click to hold them, then stamp on the paper!
Keep those annoying fingers from toppling the pole!
Pull away the "k" and zeroes to make it 10g XD the poor star is squashed beneath it
Drag those scrolls down and fix them to a pin to make a complete star
Make stairs by dragging the ground up
Click and drag to clear the smoke
The star is invisible and you've got paint! Run your cursor over the top to drip
Carefully rotate the pieces to where they're supposed to be. Pins and clips will appear to hold them in place
There are four different reflective surfaces; choose the surface in the upper-right corner and point the laser at the edge that is third from the top (or second from the bottom).
Spin the mouse around the edge of the circle.
Shift the mouse until all five pieces come together.
Click and drag down the triangular tab.
Click on the ace and drag it to the left.
How far you drag each point determines how long it is "live", i.e. how much time you have before the count goes to zero. Drag all five points so that they are live at the same time.
See Mezza's post.
Keep rotating the square and stopping until the star is complete.
Grab the crotch of the man in the middle.
Drag the first circle until its center snaps to the center of the screen. Drag the second circle until its center snaps to the intersection to the left of the center of the screen, and drag the third circle until its center snaps to the intersection to the right of the center of the screen.
Drag the fourth circle until its center snaps to the intersection below center of the first circle. (It will be tangent to the second and third circle.) This will create two flashing points on the bottom.
Drag the fifth circle until its center snaps to the one of the flashing points, and drag the sixth circle until its center snaps to the center of the other flashing point.
Type the letter V five times.
On this level, you get five cursor "lives," and you get 150 time units for each life.
For the first life, drag the middle star piece near the top of the screen, and hold it there until time runs out. For the second life, wait until your first cursor drags the first star piece, and then drag another star piece so that it matches, and hold it there until time runs out, and so on.
Click on the heart-shaped hair pin, and then click on her bellybutton as quickly as you can.
Keep clicking on the numbers.
Do nothing! Wait for the little critters to make a star. (Your mouse will scare them away.)
Click on the left or right half and dragging will clamp the middle piece. Just clamp at the right time.
It seems that clicking and dragging your mouse rotates the five points in 3D. Click and drag until the start point and end point coincide with the intersection of the two lines.
Pull the rope.
With thanks to Mezza for contributing some of the level solutions.
