Hoshi Saga Dokuringo
It seems like only a few days ago we were given a new installment in Yoshio Ishii's gorgeous Hoshi Saga series, and today another one, number 8, lands in our virtual laps: Hoshi Saga Dokuringo. But before you go off playing this one, please note the rating. This latest set of levels contains some risqué imagery, as well as some way more difficult stages.
Inside you'll find 25 new stages to clear, made up of images from the previous "ringo" games with all new puzzles (and mini-games) designed for them, and all you need to do is find the star. How you go about it will take some creative problem solving along with the usual pointing and clicking, dragging and waggling. The first level is mandatory, and it contains a lot of Japanese text, which I suspect explains this set of levels. I'd really appreciate it if someone were to translate what is says for us in the comments. I hope it gives a good reason and warning for the titillating imagery of scantily clad young females that appear in this batch.
Another immediate and obvious oddity of the Dokuringo set is the stage numbering, which starts off at Stage 9976 for the first. I wonder if perhaps this was a set that the author never intended to publish. And maybe he decided to publish them after receiving complaints that the previous games were becoming too easy. What do you think about the numbering, and what do you think about the level of difficulty in this one?

Hoshi Saga Dokuringo Walkthrough
9976
Drag the wall with the japanese lettering on it to the right, then click the box.
9977
Drag the third diamond from the left up into the ceiling.
9978
Click on the front and back walls, then click at the back until a man falls down
9979
Click on the woman's navel to reveal a... remote? Yeah, that's a remote. Click all five buttons to reveal the star.
9980
Click the screen rapidly until the mountain reaches at least a little above the moon. (keep clicking to see the yukai zone)
9981
Drag the screen in the way you want it to move, the star is above the treetops, straight up from where you started
9982
Click the bottom left corner until it is at the lowest place possible, then click the one above it until you see a green square on the bottom of it. Click the green square to reveal the star.
9983
Click the screws in the bottom right and upper left corners, then click the ball.
9984
Drag the zipper down, then drag the undershirt up, then drag the underwear down.
9985
Sorry, but you're just gonna have to follow the star with your eyes.
9986
Drag the cube until its side can land to finish the star.
9987
Clicking causes three blocks to fall. Finish the picture, then drag down the wave
9988
The oddly colored domino has the power to slide, so put the last two towards the end, and then the slider will do the rest.
9989
Just keep rubbing, it'll pop up eventually.
9990
Turn the box so that it's arrow faces downward, the star'll come out eventually.
9991
Click the little 'I' in the corner, and while it's flipping, click the background image and drag it up. (thanks star!)
9992
Click the small circle in the upper right corner.
9993
Just click very rapidly. (any fan of Ginormo Sword should have no problem with this)
9994
Click and move your cursor over her right breast.
9995
Click the four corners to remove the screws. Click the pentagon in the center and more cursors will appear in the top row, these work like a cursor trail (i.e. they follow your cursors movements). If there are more cursors on the pentagon, their clicks count as well. I is the ones place, II is the tens place, III is the hundreds place, IV is the thousands place, V is the ten thousands place. The total amount of clicks you need is 12345. But wait...
After every one hundred or so clicks, another cursor appears at the top of the screen. Mouse over them to collect another cursor to click with.
9996
Go to another tab after clicking start, when you feel it's been ten seconds, go to the game. The reason this is the solution is because it still makes the star, but if you aren't looking at the game, the star doesn't become invisible.
9997
Click the "S" in stage (upper left corner), then the "T", then the "A", then the "R" in Return (bottom right corner).
9998
Drag the screen to the right (as in, move to the left), and click on the candle.
9999
Grab the knot of the bow, then pull down.
10000
This one is pretty dang hard, but aside from the very end where you absolutely need to dodge, the rest is solvable with tricks.
Here's a compiled list
From Diego:
Apparently, the ship synchronizes with the mouse cursor, so if you move out of the game area from one side and enter from the other your ship is transported.
From jolson42
Go to the bottom of the screen, and stay in the middle. the first four shots that look like they might hit you will miss - you just have to dodge the fifth one. You can start hitting the core before the lasers finish.
The lasers and "death rings" you need Diego's trick. For the initial shots, use jolson's tip.
Aside from the attack patterns mentioned above, there is also the laser attack that sends lasers from the tips of the star towards you. After you destroy it, it'll start spamming all it's attacks, this is the last challenge, and you must dodge.
From nerdypants:
Eventually (not sure exactly when) there will appear a speech bubble next to the level in the menu. Click that bubble, and the difficulty is reduced from 10 to 5 stars. It also gives you a blue bar at the bottom of the screen in the level, which is a shield. Click and hold to use the shield. However, you can't shoot while you have the shield on.
And apparently there are 2 endings depending upon whether you use nerdypants' cheat or not.
