For example, referring to the game screen of Fig. 1, the game device 10 moves an object including a water droplet pattern in a dotted line direction, places a plurality of objects at a corresponding position in an object group to which a plurality of objects are connected, When five objects including a water droplet pattern are connected, five objects of the water droplet pattern may disappear in the game screen.

When the first object group region is divided into the second object group region and the third object group region by disposing the objects of the first type, the game device 10 may convert the object included in the third object group region into an explosive object You can decide.

Such a game method through the game device 10 will be described in detail below with reference to FIG.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a game method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The game method described in FIG. 2 is only an embodiment of the present invention, and therefore, there is no limitation thereto, and various embodiments may exist. In order to facilitate the understanding of the explanation in the description process of FIG. 2, the description will be made with reference to FIGS. 3A to 3F.

FIGS. 3A through 3F illustrate a process of generating an explosion-type object according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the game device 10 forms a first object group area made up of objects (S201) by moving each of the objects in the game screen in response to a command input from the user interface. Referring to FIG. 3A, the game device 10 may form a first object group area having a plurality of objects connected to the upper side of the game screen. However, the first object group area formed by the game device 10 may be formed in various forms according to the situation in which the objects are arranged.

On the other hand, the first object group region may be extended downward by one or more new objects arranged in the uppermost row of the game screen, and the first object group region may be an object included in the first object group, When a part of the object group area reaches a predetermined point on the game screen, the expansion can be stopped.

The game device 10 displays the first object of the first type at the first position of the game screen (S202). In this case, the first type may be the color type of the first object, and the first type may be determined according to the color and the pattern of the first object. In other words, the first object may have at least one of various colors or patterns. However, the type of the object is not limited to the first object, and a plurality of objects belonging to the first object group can also be determined according to the color and pattern of the objects.

3A, for example, the game device 10 can place the first object of the first type at the bottom center of the game screen. The first object of the first type may be a fireable object, and may be launched corresponding to a move command or a fire command from the user.

The game device 10 moves the first object to the second position of the game screen (S203) when the movement instruction for the first object is inputted through the user interface. In this case, the game device 10 calculates the angle between the two points based on the target position at which the first object is to be moved and the first position at which the first object is currently located, . The target point may be a predetermined point in the game screen input through the user interface.

In addition, when the first object reaches either the leftmost or rightmost side of the game screen, the game device 10 can move the first object by changing the advancing direction of the first object.

Referring to FIG. 3B, for example, when a movement command for the first object is input through the touch interface, the game device 10 calculates an angle between a target point input through the touch interface and a point at which the first object is displayed And move the first object in the corresponding direction. The movement of the first object may continue until it meets at least one object contained in the first object group, and when the first object reaches the leftmost or rightmost side of the game screen, 1 It is also possible to change the moving direction of the object and move it. For example, the first object may be moved by changing the progress direction as shown by an arrow in FIG. 3B.

When at least three objects of the first type are connected as a result of movement of the first object, the game device 10 causes at least three objects of the first type to disappear from the game screen (S204).

Referring to FIG. 3C, for example, when at least three or more objects of the same color or pattern are continuously connected as a result of the movement of the first object in FIG. 3B, the game device 10 may make the objects disappear have. The number of disappearing objects is not limited to three, and if the number of objects of the same type as that of the first object is three or more by moving the first object, the game device 10 may cause the object to disappear from the game screen .

When the first object group region is divided into the second object group region and the third object group region by disposing the objects of the first type, the game device 10 may convert the object included in the third object group region into an explosive object (S205). An explosive object may generate an event that causes the adjacent object adjacent to the explosive object to disappear. The determined explosive object may also generate an event that causes the adjacent object adjacent to the explosive object to disappear after being moved to an arbitrary position in the second object group.

Referring to FIG. 3C, the game device 10 may cause objects of the same type as the first object adjacent to the first object to disappear as a result of movement of the first object, 2 object group area and a third object group area. Here, the second group area may be an arranged object group area, and may be a group of a plurality of objects connected to the upper side in FIG. 3C. Meanwhile, the third object group area may be a group of objects not connected to the second object group area. In FIG. 3C, three objects that are not associated with the objects arranged in the array may be the third object group.

Referring to FIG. 3D, the game device 10 may determine objects included in the third object group as an explosion-type object. The determined explosive object can move to the bottom of the game screen for a short time. Referring to FIG. 3E, the determined explosive object may be moved to a lower end of the game screen for a short time, and then moved to an arbitrary position of the second object group. Referring to FIG. 3F, the determined explosive object may be moved to an arbitrary position in the second object group, and then the objects adjacent to the explosive object may disappear.

On the other hand, when the second object group region is re-divided into a plurality of object group regions by an event that causes the adjacent object of the explosion-type object to disappear, the game device 10 may divide at least one object included in the plurality of group regions into an explosion- Can be determined as an object. In other words, when a plurality of independent object groups independent of the second object group region are generated by an event that causes an object adjacent to the explosion-type object to disappear, the game device 10 can display the objects included in the object group as an explosive object You can decide.

4 is a flowchart showing a procedure of a game method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the game device 10 determines a situation in which an explosion-type object can be generated (S401) according to the progress of the game while playing the game (S401). The explosion- (S402). Then, the game device 10 judges whether or not the objects adjacent to the explosion-type object are disappeared (S403), and further determines that the explosion-type object is generated as the adjacent objects disappear (S404) If so, the game device 10 can determine the explosive object.

In other words, depending on the state of the connected object, it is possible to determine whether or not an explosive object is generated, and to cause the explosive object to cause the adjacent object to disappear. As the adjacent object disappears, have.

5A and 5B show a game screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5A shows an example of a game screen in which a game is progressing, and FIG. 5B shows an example of a waiting room screen in which a game does not progress.

Referring to FIG. 5, a score is acquired according to various conditions, such as when at least three objects disappear by the first object, or when adjacent objects disappear by the explosive object, and a time limit is set for the game The game will progress during the time limit. On the other hand, the first object to be moved can be converted into an object that generates an event such as an explosion-type object in the progress of the game. Examples of the object generating the event include an explosion-type object that causes an adjacent object to disappear at a target point, or a laser object that makes at least one object located on the movement path disappear, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the first object may be moved through any one of a predetermined character, an avatar, and an image, and may acquire an object that can be presented to a user's acquaintance with a certain probability during the progress of the game. In this case, an object that can be presented to the acquaintance may have effects such as an increase in acquisition goods, an increase in acquisition experience value, or an increase in game time, but is not limited thereto.

Referring to FIG. 5B, in the waiting room screen, an object or a game effect that can be usefully used in a game can be purchased through the goods obtained in the course of playing the game, and an avatar or an item dedicated to a character can be purchased. In addition, on the waiting room screen, menus such as notifications such as mail sent to the user, events on the game, and settings can be used.
