[Game overview]
FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a game image according to this embodiment. The game image 1000 of FIG. 6 is provided with a swipe area 1002. By swiping the swipe area 1002, the player can display the bullet 1004 on the game image 1000 and move the bullet 1004. The position on the game image 1000 where the bullet 1004 is displayed corresponds to the position of the swipe area 1002 touched by the player.

Further, the four corners of the swipe area 1002 correspond to the four corners of the area (battle field) in which the bullet 1004 can move in the game image 1000. For example, when the player touches the upper left of the swipe area 1002, the bullet 1004 is displayed at the upper left of the battle field. By making the size of the swipe area 1002 sufficiently smaller than that of the battle field, the player can freely move the bullet 1004 displayed on the battle field with a few finger movements.

The enemy character 1006 is displayed in the battle field. By moving the bullet 1004 and bringing it into contact with the enemy character 1006, the player can attack and damage the enemy character 1006. Also, a player character 1010 is displayed in the battle field. The player character 1010 is damaged when it comes into contact with the enemy character 1006 or a bullet released by the enemy character 1006.

Crystal 1008 may appear in the battlefield. The crystal 1008 may be caused to appear by destruction of the enemy character 1006, may be caused to appear after a predetermined time has elapsed, may be caused to be caused by the damage given, or may be caused to be caused by stage clear. As described above, the appearance conditions of the crystal 1008 are various.

By bringing the bullet 1004 into contact with or destroying the crystal 1008, the player can make the spell panel 1100 shown in FIG. 7 appear in the battle field. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the spell panel. FIG. 7A shows an example in which one crystal is displayed from one crystal 1008. FIG. 7B shows an example in which two spells are displayed from one crystal 1008.

The player can obtain the spell by bringing the bullet 1004 into contact with or destroying the spell panel 1100 displayed in the battle field. In the example of the spell panel 1100 shown in FIG. 7A, the spell of the spell panel 1100 in which the bullet 1004 has been contacted or destroyed can be acquired. Further, in the example of the spell panel 1100 of FIG. 7B, the player can select the spell to be acquired by bringing the bullet 1004 into contact with the spell side to be acquired or destroying it from the spell side to be acquired. .. Although the example in which the spell panel 1100 appears from the crystal 1008 is shown here, the appearance of the crystal 1008 may be omitted and the spell panel 1100 may appear directly.

The crystal 1008 and the spell panel 1100 disappear from the battlefield due to scrolling or the passage of the time limit. Therefore, the player can freely select whether to obtain the spell from the appeared crystal 1008 or the spell panel 1100. The spell acquired by the player is used to perform a powerful attack such as a magic attack or a special attack different from the attack by the bullet 1004.

The attack using the spell is an example of an effect that is activated according to the spell, such as an effect that is advantageous to the player or an effect that is disadvantageous to the player. For example, the advantageous effect to the player may include a direct attack to the enemy, a buff to the player (increase of various abilities), a debuff to the enemy (decrease of various abilities), and the like. Spelling is an example of an object that activates a beneficial effect for the player. The object that activates the advantageous effect for the player is not limited to the spell, and may be a mark (for example, a fire mark or a water mark). In addition, spelling is also an example of an object that triggers a disadvantageous effect on the player. The spell that causes a disadvantageous effect on the player can enhance the interest of allowing the player to select the spell to be acquired.

In the following, an example will be described in which the player uses spells to make a magic attack. The details of the magic attack using spells will be described later, but the effect changes depending on the spell used and the combination of spells used. Further, the effect may be changed depending on the selection order of the spells to be used. The effects depending on the used spells, the combination of used spells, and the selection order of the used spells may be increased by a synergistic effect. For example, the effects may be reduced by canceling each other out like the effects of the water attribute and the effects of the fire attribute. Further, for example, the effect of the fire attribute may be increased by selecting the spell of the wind attribute after the spell of the fire attribute.

The spells acquired by the player are displayed in the spell stock area 1012 as shown in FIG. The spell stock area 1012 in FIG. 6 shows an example in which the spells acquired by the player are displayed left-justified. The player can activate the magic attack by selecting the spell displayed in the spell stock area 1012 by swiping.

It should be noted that the player can activate a magic attack by selecting all the spells displayed in the spell stock area 1012 at once with a swipe operation as shown in FIG. 8(A). Alternatively, the player may activate a magic attack by selecting a part of the spells displayed in the spell stock area 1012 by swiping as shown in FIG. 8B.

The spells are stored in a spell table 26 as shown in FIG. 9, for example. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the spell table 26. The spell shown in FIG. 9 is a spell word (word) that constitutes a sentence to be cast when activating a magic attack. It is desirable that the spell wording of FIG. 9 is a content that makes the player imagine the type of magical attack to be activated.

For example, in the case of the spelling word “water erosion”, it is possible to make the player imagine that the attribute of the magic attack is “water”. In addition, for example, with the spelling words “pierce” or “pause”, it is possible to make the player imagine the shape of the effective range of the magic attack. Further, for example, if the spelling words “Goddess's” and “spirits'” are used, it is possible to make the player imagine the power of the magic attack.

In this way, the spell wording of the spell that the player can acquire can make the player imagine the type of magic attack that is activated when the spell is selected. The spell table shown in FIG. 9 is an example, and in addition to the magic attack attribute, effective range, and spelling system representing power, target systems for designating targets of magical attack and special effects on specific enemies are shown. Special effect type to be given, abnormal state type to give abnormal state, combo type to be used in combination, field type to affect battle field, jammer type to set trap or wall, speed to change movement speed of player character or enemy There are various types, such as a system, a buff system, a debuff system, a summon system that summons summons, and a knockback system that blows away enemies.

The control unit 22 activates a magic attack according to one or more spells selected by the player from the spell stock area 1012 by a swipe operation. Note that the control unit 22 may select the type of magic attack to be activated by using a table in which one or more spells are associated with magic attacks, or the spell type and rank value for each spell. And may be set, and the rank value calculated for each spell type of one or more spells selected by the player may be used for selection.

Other operations are omitted.

After the game starts, the control unit 22 of the mobile terminal 20 causes the display unit 24 to display a game image as shown in FIG. 6 and allows the player to play the game. The control unit 22 determines whether or not the appearance condition of the crystal 1008 such as the destruction of the enemy character 1006 is satisfied (S10).

When the appearance condition of the crystal 1008 is satisfied in S10, the control unit 22 displays the crystal 1008 on the battle field (S12). If the appearance condition of the crystal 1008 is not satisfied in S10, the control unit 22 skips S12.

Further, the control unit 22 determines whether or not the appearance condition of the spell panel 1100 such as contacting the bullet 1004 with the crystal 1008 is satisfied (S14). When the appearance condition of the spell panel 1100 is satisfied in S14, the control unit 22 causes the battle field to display the spell panel 1100 (S16). If the appearance condition of the spell panel 1100 is not satisfied in S14, the control unit 22 skips S16.

Further, the control unit 22 determines whether or not the player has made a selection (acquisition) of the spell by bringing the bullet 1004 into contact with the spell panel 1100 (S18). When the player selects a spell in S18, the control unit 22 erases the battlefield spell panel 1100 and displays the spell selected by the player in the spell stock area 1012 in a left-justified manner (S20). If the spell is not selected by the player in S18, the control unit 22 skips S20.

Further, the control unit 22 determines whether or not the extinction condition of the crystal 1008 or the spell panel 1100 such as the passage of a time limit is satisfied (S22). When the extinction condition of the crystal 1008 or the spell panel 1100 is satisfied in S22, the control unit 22 erases the crystal 1008 or the spell panel 1100 from the battle field (S24). If the extinction condition of the crystal 1008 or the spell panel 1100 is not satisfied in S24, the control unit 22 skips S24.

Further, the control unit 22 determines whether or not there is a swipe operation on the spell stock area 1012 by the player (S26). When the player performs a swipe operation on the spell stock area 1012 in S26, the control unit 22 performs a magic activation process described later (S28). If the player does not swipe the spell stock area 1012 in S26, the control unit 22 skips S28.

Further, the control unit 22 determines whether or not the game is over (S30). If the game has not ended, the control unit 22 returns to S10 and continues the processing. If the game has ended, the process of the flowchart shown in FIG. 10 ends.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating the magic activation process of S28. When the player performs a swipe operation on the spell stock area 1012 in S26 of FIG. 10, the control unit 22 starts the magic activation process of FIG. The control unit 22 erases the spell selected by the player by the swipe operation from the spell stock area 1012. Then, the control unit 22 specifies the spell selected by the player from the spell stock area 1012 by the swipe operation (S50).

Further, the control unit 22 selects a magic attack corresponding to one spell or a combination of a plurality of spells identified in S50, for example, using a table in which one or a plurality of spells are associated with a magic attack (S52). ). The process of S52 of selecting a magic attack from the one or more spells identified in S50 may employ another process, for example, the spell type and rank value are set for each spell, and the one identified in S50. The magic attack may be selected by a predetermined logic from the spell type and rank value of one or more spells.

Further, the control unit 22 activates the magic attack selected in S52 as shown in FIG. 12 or FIG. 13, for example. 12 and 13 are diagrams showing an example of an image of the activated magic attack.

FIG. 12A shows an image of a magical attack with a flame attribute corresponding to the spelling of the spelling word "Kiyoyoyo". In addition, FIG. 12B shows an image of a magical attack with a flame attribute corresponding to a combination of a spelling word “Kiyoyoyo” and a spelling word “piercing”. In the magic attack of FIG. 12B, the shape of the effective range of the magic attack is different because the spell of FIG. 12A is added with the spell indicating the effective range of the magic attack.

Further, FIG. 13A shows an image of a magic attack having a wind attribute corresponding to a combination of a spelling word “really wind” and a spelling word “piercing”. FIG. 13B shows an image of a water-based magic attack corresponding to a combination of the spelling word “water damage” and the spelling word “piercing”.
