The server 200 receives the progress of the game in each player's tower from each player (for example, players A to C of the mobile terminals 100A to 100C) and stores it in the situation storage unit 262. The progress of the game is transmitted to the server 200 periodically at a timing such as when the player updates the height of the tower or when the game is ended (logged out).

A tower as shown in the game screen 500 is associated with each of the plurality of players in the game, and the player visits another player's tower (another player's tower) to visit another player's tower. You can play the above-mentioned battle game in. When visiting the towers of other players, it is necessary to consume coins, which are virtual currencies. Information about the towers of other players is transmitted from the server 200 and received by the receiving unit 111. The received information is stored in the game information storage unit 163, and the game in the tower of another player can be executed (note that which information in the tower of the other player is transmitted from the server 200 to each player will be described later. do).

As described above, the height of the tower of the player changes based on the progress of the game by the player. Information such as the number of floors of each player's tower is transmitted to the server 200, and the storage unit 260 of the server 200 stores the latest status of each player's tower. Further, the storage unit 260 also stores information about the towers of other players transmitted to the players (that is, which player can advance the game in which other player's tower). Therefore, when the tower of another player visited by the player is updated (the number of floors is increasing), the server 200 transmits information indicating that the tower of the other player is updated to the player's mobile terminal. Based on the information, the player can receive (download) the updated information about the tower of another player by the receiving unit 111 of the mobile terminal 100A. In this way, even if the tower of another player visits once and explores / captures the inside, the floor of the tower of the other player may be higher the next time the player logs in. Since the enemy characters encountered and the items that can be acquired change according to the height of the tower, it is possible to give the player a motivation to visit and challenge the tower of another player as many times as possible, and it is possible to deepen the interaction between the players.

Return to the explanation of the game screen 500. By tapping the store button 520, the player A can display the screen of the virtual store in the game. In the virtual store, player A can purchase items and summon accompanying characters by using the acquired coins and gems. Coins and gems are virtual currencies that are consumed when a player purchases an item in the game, summons a companion character, or enters a tower of another player or a tower of a battle. The menu button 530 is a button for displaying a menu screen for advancing the game. On the menu screen, for example, a game score (for example, the maximum number of floors reached), which is information on the progress of one's own game in a player's tower, another player's tower, a common tower, or a battle tower, and equipment of a player character are displayed. Buttons to the setting screen, buttons to the item management screen, etc. are displayed.

The map button 540 is a button for transitioning to a map screen on which a tower of another player or a common tower that can be visited by the player A is displayed. A message corresponding to the progress of the game is displayed on the notification button 550. The contents of the message are, for example, "the tower can be expanded (added)", "another player visits this tower", "the function that player A can execute is released", and "the tower of another player". The information has been updated. " These messages are generated by the display processing unit 152 in response to the instructions of the progress unit 153. Of these messages, the message about the other player is generated based on the information about the other player and the tower of the other player transmitted by the server 200. Further, the notification button 550 displays a ranking described later. When the ranking is displayed, the color of the notification button 550 changes, and the sticker displaying the ranking is duplicated on the notification button 550 so that the player can see at a glance that there is a ranking display. To be done. An exclamation mark is displayed on the map button 540 and the notification button 550 when there is information that the player A has not confirmed. The store button 520 map button 540 is displayed when the height of the tower 510 is 9th floor or higher. Processing based on these conditions is also performed by the progress unit 153.

The mail button 560 is displayed by the display processing unit 153 based on the information received from the server 200 when there is a notification or the like from the game management side. Player A can display the notification on the display unit 120 by tapping the mail button 560. As the number of coins 570, the total number of coins currently held by the player A is displayed. The number of gems 580 displays the number of gems possessed, and the player can shift the display unit 120 to the purchase screen of gems by tapping the plus button (+).

Although not shown in FIG. 4, the player A can decorate the tower 510 of the player with decorative elements. For example, the player A can color or attach an image to the outer wall of the player's tower 510. Furthermore, pictures and images can be displayed on the inner wall of the tower 510. This is done by the updating unit 155 updating the tower of the player A so as to decorate the tower of the player A with an image or the like selected by the player A in response to the instruction of the player A. The updated information about the tower of player A is transmitted to the server 200, and the server 200 stores the information about the tower of player A in the storage unit 260. Here, the decorated tower is displayed in the same state even in the mobile terminal of another player that has received the information about the tower of the player A from the server 200. Therefore, the player can appeal the player's tower to other players by decorating the player's tower to his or her taste, so that the player can be given more interest.

Next, a map displayed by the player A tapping the mail button 540 will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a map displayed on the display unit 120. This map is generated by the map generation unit 157 of the mobile terminal 100A. Alternatively, the map information generated by the map generation unit 254 of the server 200 and for displaying the map on the mobile terminal 100A may be transmitted. As shown in FIG. 5, the map 600 displays player A's player tower 610, common tower 611, battle tower 612, event tower 613, and quest (bottomless well) 614. The tab menu 620 and list 630 are also displayed. Player A can tap on the map to select a destination.

Here, other towers and the like displayed on the map will be additionally described. The player tower 610 is a game area associated with the player A as described above, and the height of the tower can be increased according to the capture of the player A. The common tower 611 is a tower that all players can capture. As mentioned above, each player aims to capture the top floor while playing against enemy characters encountered inside a common tower. You have to spend coins to enter the common tower 611, and the higher the floor, the more sophisticated the reward items you can get. The height of the common tower 611 does not change depending on the user's operation. On the other hand, the management side of the game may change the height according to the progress of the game of each user. Although other player characters may be encountered inside the common tower 611, the other player characters of the other player characters are not executing the game at the same time, and the other player characters selected by the game program are displayed.

The battle tower 612 is a tower in which a battle between the player character A of the player A and another player character of another player is performed. The battle tower 612 will be displayed for the first time on the map when the player's tower 610 is on a predetermined condition, for example, when the height of the tower is 12th floor or higher, and exploration becomes possible. That is, the map generation unit 157 generates a map that displays the battle tower according to the progress of the game by the progress unit 153. Inside the battle tower 612, player A encounters another player character as a battle character. The other player characters that are encountered are not executing the game at the same time, but another player character that satisfies a predetermined condition is selected by the game program (another player character that satisfies a predetermined condition is selected by the server 200, and the server 200 selects the other player character. Information about the other player character is transmitted) and displayed to player A. As a predetermined condition selected as an opponent, for example, an opponent whose progress is close to that of the player, specifically, the height of the tower of another player is the height of the tower of player A ± 1st floor. It may be in the range. As described above, the player A can explore the inside of the battle tower 612 together with the alter ego of another player character obtained by the player in the lottery (gacha) as an accompanying character.

The tower 613 of the event is predetermined, for example, when the player A wins the battle in the battle tower 612 and achieves the capture of the top floor, or when the battle record in the common tower 611 is ranked in the top 10 or so. When the condition is satisfied, it is displayed on the map 600, and the player A can explore. That is, the battle record of each player in the common tower 611 is compared and ranked by the comparison unit 253 of the server 200, and when a predetermined condition is satisfied, information about the tower of the event (appearance, enemy character, item, etc.) Information) is transmitted from the server 200 to the mobile terminal 100A of the player A. The map generation unit 157 generates a map displaying the tower of the event based on the information about the tower of the event received. In the event tower 613, depending on the content of the event, for example, you can proceed with the acquisition of items without the enemy character appearing, or you can get a special reward if a special enemy character appears and you win the battle. I can do it. The quest (bottomless well) 614 is a game space where you can encounter enemy characters different from the common tower and the player's tower, and acquire special items.

In the tab menu 620, depending on the tab selection, "Towers of other players" that player A can visit, "Exploration history", "Favorites" and "Tickets can be entered" although not displayed in the figure. "Tower" is displayed. Further, the figure displays a list 630 of "towers of other players" that player A can visit. As shown in the figure, player A can visit at least "tower of player C", "tower of player B", "tower of player X", and "tower of player Y".

As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, since the map regarding the towers of other players that the player can visit is generated and displayed to the player, the player can visit other players that he / she can visit. You can grasp the tower at a glance. Furthermore, since the tower of another player can be easily visited by tapping the map, the player can be motivated to visit the tower of another player, and the interaction between the players can be activated. ..

Here, a tower of another player that the player A can visit will be described. When the height of the player's tower meets a predetermined condition (for example, the 9th floor or higher), the player A can encounter another player character while exploring the player's tower, and the other player character can visit the other player's tower. You will be given a map of the other player's tower. When player A wins the boss battle in the player's tower and escapes from the tower with the acquired items, the map can be brought back. The tower of the other player who brought back the map is displayed in the list 630 as a tower of the other player that the player A can visit.

In addition, the other player of the other player character encountered while the player A is exploring the tower of the player has a predetermined condition with respect to the stage of the tower of the other player among the plurality of other players. Other players that meet are selected. As a predetermined condition, for example, the height of the tower of another player may be ± 1st floor of the height of the tower of the player A. The selection of the other player is based on whether or not the comparison unit 253 satisfies a predetermined condition based on the progress of the game of each player (including the stage of the player's tower) received from the mobile terminal of each player by the server 200. Is determined and performed.

Here, the level of the characteristic value of the appearing enemy character of the tower of another player having the same height as the tower of the player is about the same as the tower of the player. Therefore, it is not too difficult and not too easy for the player to capture the tower of other players, and the level is just right for enjoying the game, so that the player can maintain the motivation to play the game.

Further, the other player of the other player character that the player A encounters while exploring the tower of the player may be another player character of another player who visited or captured the tower of the player A. Information about the other player who visited or captured the tower of the player A may be transmitted by the server 200 to the mobile terminal of the player A, or may be directly transmitted from the mobile terminal of the other player. As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, information of another player who has visited the tower of the player is given to the player, and the player can be motivated to visit the tower of the other player. Therefore, it is possible to deepen the interaction between the players.

In addition, depending on the relationship between the other player and the player's tower (for example, the number of times the other player visits the player's tower, whether or not the player's tower has been captured, etc.), the reward that the other player obtains in the player's tower , The number of coins required to enter the player's tower may be changed. For example, the number of coins required by another player when visiting a player's tower may be reduced as the number of times the other player visits the tower increases. Further, the reward given by the player's tower may be more special (the probability of appearance is lower) as the other players visit the player's tower more often.

Further, the other player who can execute the game in the tower of the player A may be another player associated with the player A in the other service. For example, another player associated with the SNS as another service, that is, having a friendship may be made to execute the game in the tower of the player A. In this case, when the player A shares the information about the player's tower on the SNS, the URL capable of starting the game in the player A's tower is published on the SNS. Another player who has a friendship with player A can execute the game in the tower of player A by clicking the URL.

Further, the above-mentioned other service may be another game. For example, another player who belongs to the same team or has a friendship in another battle game may be made to play the game in the tower of player A.

In this way, since the player's tower can be explored by friends on SNS and other games, it is possible to give the player and friends the attraction of enjoying the game together.

As with the player's tower, the game in the other player's tower also aims to win the boss battle with the boss on the top floor of the other player's tower by advancing the battle with the enemy character while acquiring items. .. Similar to the player's tower, the items acquired in the other player's tower can be taken back if the boss battle with the boss existing on each third floor is won and the other player's tower escapes. Further, the coins earned in the tower of the other player are not only brought back, but also recorded as the battle record in the tower of the other player, and the battle record is transmitted to the server 200.

FIG. 6 is an example of a game screen displayed on the display unit of another player (for example, player B) who captures the tower of player A. When the player B captures the tower of the player A, the progress of the game in the tower of the player A by the player A received from the mobile terminal 100A of the player A by the server 200 (including the above information regarding the player character A of the player A). Is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100B of the player B. As shown in the game screen 700, the boss existing on the top floor of the tower of the player A is the player character A710 of the player A itself. The player character A710 is displayed with the equipment set by the player A attached. That is, the player character A710 has an attack power and a protective power determined by the attached equipment and items. By tapping the enlargement button 720, the player B can display the attack power of the player character A, the details of the equipment, and the like. The player B taps the striking button 730 to execute a battle with the player character A.

FIG. 7 is an example of ranking display by a plurality of players of the game in the tower of player A. This ranking is determined by the comparison unit 253 of the server 200 by comparing the progress of the game by each player in the tower of the player A. In the example of the figure, it is assumed that the display unit 120 of the mobile terminal 100A of the player A is displayed. Prior to the ranking display, the mobile terminal 100A of the player A receives information regarding the ranking determined by the comparison unit 253 of the server 200. As shown in the figure, the ranking display 800 displays a tab menu 810, a ranking list 820, and a social sharing button 830. The tab menu 810 displays the "Top", "Self" and "Friends" tabs, and the player can select the ranking he wants to display. In the figure, "top" is selected and the top players are displayed in the tower of player A. In the example shown in the figure, the ranking is determined based on the total number of coins earned in the tower of player A. As shown in the figure, the first place in the ranking in the tower of player A is "player B", and the number of coins earned is "123,456". It can be seen that the second place in the ranking is "Player A" and the number of coins earned is "123,000". In the ranking display, the display processing unit 152 may generate the ranking display by receiving the information related to the display (upper player and the number of coins thereof) on the mobile terminal 100A, and the ranking display is the display processing of the server 200. The display information may be generated by the unit 252 and transmitted to the mobile terminal 100A.

When "self" is selected in the tab menu 810, the ranking of the portion including the player A is displayed. When "friend" is selected, the ranking of each player who has a friendship with player A is displayed. Here, the "friend" is another player who has performed an operation associated with the player. For example, among the other player characters encountered when the player A explores the common tower, the other player of the other player character who exchanges a greeting such as sending a message can be used. Further, it may be another player who has a friendship with the player A on the SNS. The social sharing button 830 is used when it is desired to share the ranking shown in FIG. 7 on the SNS.

As described in the start screen 500 of FIG. 4, the notification button 550 is also displayed on the display screens of the common tower, the battle tower, and the tower of another player described above. The ranking display is pasted on the notification button on the display screen of the tower of the player A in the form of a sticker, and the player can display the ranking display 800 shown in FIG. 7 by tapping the sticker.

As described above, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the results of battles in the player's tower by a plurality of players are ranked and can be viewed by other players, thereby giving a sense of accomplishment to the higher-ranking players. At the same time, it is possible to motivate lower-ranking players to challenge the game as many times as they like. Furthermore, it is possible to promote interaction between a plurality of players.

Further, there is a remarkable effect that a plurality of players can interact with each other around the player's tower, that is, the player. Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, not only can a player interact with another player in the player's game area, but also an exchange between other players (that is, competition by ranking) in the player's game area. You can exchange messages with other players while capturing the tower). In addition, since the game area of a player has a different configuration for each player, other players who gather in the game area of a certain player inevitably gather other players who are highly correlated with the configuration. Become. Therefore, other players having similar tastes gather in the game area of a certain player, and the interaction is activated. As a result, in the game space, various places of interaction are created for each player's area, and it is possible to promote interaction between players.

Further, a reward peculiar to the player's tower may be given to another player located at the top of the ranking in the player's tower. For example, when another player located within the 100th place in the ranking of the tower of the player A explores the tower of the player A, an item that cannot be obtained in the tower of the player but can be obtained in the tower of the player A can be obtained. It may appear. Further, an enemy character that does not appear in the tower of the player but appears in the tower of the player A and whose number of coins and experience points are doubled when the battle is won may appear. .. That is, the reward giving unit 255 of the server 200 determines another player who can obtain a unique reward in the tower of the player A based on the ranking in the tower of the player A. Items can be acquired (taken home) by winning the boss battle in the tower of player A.

In this way, if you enter the top of the ranking in the tower of another player, you can get unique rewards (items, coins, etc.) in the tower of the other player, so you can repeat the game to the player in the tower of the other player. It can give you more motivation to take on the challenge.

It should be noted that the reward given to the above-mentioned high-ranking player may be at least partially different for each tower of another player. That is, the reward giving unit 255 changes the type of unique reward in each player's tower. For example, the items that can be acquired in the tower of player A and the items that can be acquired in the tower of player B can be different. Therefore, the player may visit the towers of the plurality of other players in order to rank higher in the towers of the plurality of other players, and therefore motivate each player so that the interaction between the plurality of players becomes active. can. Furthermore, since a unique item cannot be acquired unless it is ranked high in the ranking, when a unique item is acquired, the player is given a sense of accomplishment that he / she has an item that other players do not have. Can be done.

Further, the reward given to other players who have explored the tower of player A may be changed according to the battle record of player A in the common tower or the tower of the battle. For example, when player A captures the top floor of the battle tower, the tower of player A becomes a special tower for a certain period of time, and it is special for other players who visit the tower of player A during this period. Special rewards are given that are different from the rewards that can be obtained when not in the tower. The special reward may be, for example, an item that does not appear when the tower is not a special tower while capturing the tower, or a coin may be earned more than twice as much as usual when the battle is won. That is, the reward giving unit 255 determines the tower of the player to be a special tower based on the progress of the game of each player stored in the situation storage unit 262. When the tower of the player A is a special tower, the appearance of the tower of the player A displayed to other players may be changed, for example, by making it shine. This is possible by transmitting information regarding the appearance of the tower of the player whose server 200 is a special tower to the mobile terminals of each other player. Further, the player A can share on the SNS that the tower of the player is a special tower and show off to other players.

In this way, the player can make the player's tower attractive to other players according to the progress of his / her game, so that the player can have enthusiasm for the game. Moreover, since the tower of the player can be appealed to other players, the motivation of the player can be enhanced. Further, since it is possible to give other players a motivation to visit the player's tower, it is possible to deepen the interaction between the players.

Further, the player may be rewarded according to the situation of the visitor to the tower of the player. For example, a reward may be given to a player according to the number of visitors to the player's tower by another player, the number of times that another player fails to capture the player's tower, and the like. This is based on the progress of the game by each player stored in the situation storage unit 262 (including which player visited which player's tower and the number of failed captures by other players). 255 is possible by determining the rewards granted in the player's tower. With such a configuration, the player is motivated to actively interact with other players by making the player's tower more attractive and making it a more difficult tower to capture. be able to.

Next, a control method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to a flowchart. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when the player A executes a game in the player's tower in the mobile terminal 100A.

As shown in the figure, the progress unit 153 of the mobile terminal 100A advances the game in the player's tower of the player A based on the operation input information from the player via the input reception unit 130 (step S11). Next, when the player A captures the top floor of the player's tower, the display processing unit 152 causes the display unit 120 to display a button for adding a tower. The information processing unit 151 determines whether the button for adding a tower is tapped by the player A on the input receiving unit (touch panel) 130 (step S12). If it is determined by the information processing unit 151 that the player has tapped the button to add the tower, and the player A has the coins necessary to add the tower (determined by the progress unit 153), the update is performed. The tower is added (updated) by the unit 155 (step S13). Next, information regarding the progress of the game in the tower of the player A (number of floors of the tower, number of coins, acquired items, etc.) is stored in the status storage unit 162 (step S14). The information processing unit 151 determines whether or not the player A has instructed to end the game (step S15), and the progress unit 153 ends the game if there is an instruction to end the game. If there is no end instruction, or if the tower is not added in step S12, the process returns to step S11, and the progress unit 153 advances the game in the tower of player A.

Information regarding the progress of the game in the tower of player A is transmitted from the communication unit 110 to the server 200. The information regarding the progress of the game by the player A transmitted to the server 200 is stored in the status storage unit 262 of the server 200 in association with the player A (step S21).

Next, the information regarding the progress of the game stored in the situation storage unit 162 of the player A will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is an example of a table stored in the situation storage unit 162 and showing information on the progress of the game by the player A in the tower of the player A. As shown in the figure, the table 810 includes a "player name", a "tower floor", a "coin", an "item", an "accessory", a "decoration" and an "achievement list". According to the example in the figure, the tower of player A is currently "12 stories", and the number of coins owned by player A is "123,000". Further, the types of items and accessories worn by the player character A and the types of items and accessories that are not worn but are held are stored. Further, it can be seen that the tower of the player A is decorated with the image "001.jpg" or the like. Further, it can be seen that the player A has achieved the "achievement list 1".

The process described with reference to FIG. 8 is the same when a plurality of players of the game (for example, player B and player C) execute the game in the tower of the player. Therefore, the status storage unit 262 of the server 200 stores information on the progress of the game by the plurality of players for each player. FIG. 10 is an example of a table stored in the status storage unit 262 of the server 200 and showing the progress of the game in the player's tower by each player. As shown in the figure, the table 820 stores information about the player's tower by each player (information about the stage of the player's tower) and information about the player character.

Next, a process when the player B explores the tower of the player A will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of a process in which the player B explores the tower of the player A. From this point onward, each part of the mobile terminal 100B of the player B will be described by adding the letter "B" after the reference numeral. The functions of each part in the mobile terminal 100B are the same as those described for the mobile terminal 100A described above.

First, the comparison unit 253 of the server 200 is based on the information of the table 820 stored in the situation storage unit 262, and when the height of the player B is a predetermined condition (for example, the fourth floor or higher), the tower of the player B Compare the height with the height of each player's tower. Then, the comparison unit 253 selects player A, which is a tower having the same number of floors as the number of floors “12th floor” of the tower of player B (step S31). The information processing unit 251 transmits the information about the player A stored in the table 820 to the mobile terminal 100B of the player B via the communication unit 210 (step S32). The information transmitted to the player B may not include the achievement list, items and accessories held by the player character but not worn, and the number of coins held.

The communication unit 110B of the mobile terminal 100B receives the information about the player A transmitted from the server and stores it in the situation storage unit 162B. Then, the progress unit 153B displays the player character A of the player A inside the tower while the game in the tower of the player (tower of the player B) by the player B is in progress, and the player B displays a map from the player character A. Get (step S41). When the player B escapes from the player's tower together with the acquired item, the map generation unit 157B displays information about the player A's tower on the player B's map (map B) (step S42). Next, when the tower of the player A is selected by the player B on the map B, the progress unit 153B causes the player B to advance the game in the tower of the player A (step S43). At this time, the display unit 120B displays the tower of the player A based on the information about the player A stored in the situation storage unit 162B. For example, based on the table 820, the tower of the player A has 12 floors, and the equipment of the boss (player character A) existing on the top floor is equipped with ITM001, ITM005, and ITM010. Further, in the tower of the player A, the image 001. jpg and 002. It is decorated with jpg.

Note that the flowchart of FIG. 11 shows an example in which the mobile terminal 100B of the player B receives information about the player A in a batch in step S32. However, the mobile terminal 100B may receive the information about the player A by dividing it into steps S41 to S43. For example, the mobile terminal 100B receives information about the player character of player A before step S41, receives information about the tower of player A before step S42, and receives information about the tower of player A before step S43. You can also get the information inside. Further, in step S43, for example, every time the player B captures the tower of the player A by 3 floors (that is, the 3rd floor, the 6th floor, the 9th floor, etc.) according to the progress of the game in the tower of the player A. Each time), the mobile terminal 100B may be configured to acquire information on the tower of the player A.

Next, when the player B ends the game, escapes from the tower of the player A, or the like, information about the progress of the game by the player B in the tower of the player A is associated with the tower of the player A and the situation is stored. It is stored in the part 162B. Further, the stored information is transmitted from the communication unit 110B to the player A (mobile terminal 100A) and the server 200 (step S44). The server 200 stores the information received from the mobile terminal 100B of the player B in the situation storage unit 262 (step S33). The information about player B includes the progress of player B in the game in the tower of player A. Further, the mobile terminal 100A of the player A stores the progress of the game of the player B in the tower of the player received from the server 200 in the situation storage unit 162 (step S51). As a mode for direct wireless communication between mobile terminals in this way, there are an ad hoc mode in which game information is directly transmitted / received using an adapter for wireless communication (not shown) provided in each mobile terminal 100A to 100C, and each mobile terminal. There is an infrastructure mode in which 100A to 100C indirectly send and receive game information via an access point (not shown).

In the flowchart of FIG. 11, in step S44, information regarding the progress of the game by the player B is directly transmitted from the player B (mobile terminal 100B) to the server 200 and the player A mobile terminal 100A). However, the progress of the game by the player B may be transmitted from the server 200 to the player A (mobile terminal 100A). That is, information regarding the progress of the game by the player B may be transmitted from the mobile terminal 100B to the server 200, and may be transmitted from the server 200 to the mobile terminal 100A.

Next, since the player A explores the tower of the player C and the information about the player A is displayed on the tower of the player C, an example of the process when the player C explores the tower of the player A will be described using a flowchart. do. From this point onward, the constituent parts of the mobile terminal 100C of the player C will be described by adding the letter "C" after the reference numeral. The functions of each part in the mobile terminal 100C are the same as those described for the mobile terminal 100A described above.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the above processing. First, the comparison unit 253 of the server 200 is based on the information of the table 820 stored in the situation storage unit 262, and when the height of the player A is a predetermined condition (for example, the fourth floor or higher), the tower of the player A Compare the height with the height of each player's tower. Then, the comparison unit 253 selects player C, which is a tower having the same number of floors as the number of floors “12th floor” of the tower of player A (step S61). The information processing unit 251 transmits information about the player C stored in the table 820 to the mobile terminal 100A of the player A via the transmission unit 212 (step S62). The information transmitted to the player A may not include the achievement list, items and accessories held by the player character but not worn, and the number of coins held.

The communication unit 110 of the mobile terminal 100A receives the information about the player C transmitted from the server and stores it in the situation storage unit 162. Then, the progress unit 153 displays the player character C of the player C inside the tower while the game in the tower of the player (tower of the player A) by the player A is in progress, and the player A displays a map from the player character C. Get (step S71). When the player A escapes from the player's tower together with the acquired item, the map generation unit 157 displays information about the player C's tower on the player A's map (map A) (step S72). Next, when the tower of the player C is selected by the player A on the map A, the progress unit 153 causes the player A to advance the game in the tower of the player C (step S73). At this time, the display unit 120 displays the tower of the player C based on the information about the player C stored in the situation storage unit 162. For example, based on the table 820, the tower of the player C has 12 floors, and the equipment of the boss (player character C) existing on the top floor is equipped with ITM001, ITM004, and ITM020. The tower of player C is shown in image 032. It is decorated with jpg.

Next, when the player A ends the game, escapes from the tower of the player C, or the like, information about the progress of the game by the player A in the tower of the player C is associated with the tower of the player C and the situation is stored. It is stored in the part 162. Further, the stored information is transmitted from the communication unit 110 (transmission unit 112) to the server 200 and the mobile terminal 100C of the player C (step S74).

The server 200 stores the information received from the mobile terminal 100A of the player A in the situation storage unit 262 (step S63). The information about player A includes the progress of player A in the game in the tower of player C. The mobile terminal 100C of the player C stores the progress of the game of the player A in the tower of the player received from the server 200 in the situation storage unit 162C (step S81). In the flowchart of FIG. 12, in step S74, the progress of the game by the player A is directly transmitted from the player A (mobile terminal 100A) to the player C (mobile terminal 100C). However, information regarding the progress of the game by the player A may be transmitted from the player A (mobile terminal 100A) to the server 200, and the information may be transmitted from the server 200 to the player C (mobile terminal 100C).

The map generation unit 157C displays information about the tower of the player A on the map (map C) of the player C (step S82). Next, when the tower of the player A is selected by the player C on the map C, the progress unit 153C causes the player C to advance the game in the tower of the player A (step S83). At this time, the display unit 120C displays the tower of the player A based on the information about the player A stored in the situation storage unit 162C. For example, based on the table 820, the tower of the player A has 12 floors, and the equipment of the boss (player character A) existing on the top floor is equipped with ITM001, ITM005, and ITM010. Further, in the tower of the player A, the image 001. jpg and 002. It is decorated with jpg.

Next, when the player C ends the game, escapes from the tower of the player A, or the like, information about the progress of the game by the player C in the tower of the player A is associated with the tower of the player A and the situation is stored. It is stored in the unit 162C. Further, the stored information is transmitted from the communication unit 110C to the server 200 and the mobile terminal 100A of the player A (step S84).

The server 200 stores the information received from the mobile terminal 100C of the player C in the situation storage unit 262 (step S65). The mobile terminal 100A of the player A stores the progress of the game of the player C in the tower of the player received from the mobile terminal 100C in the situation storage unit 162 (step S75). Also here, the progress of the game of the player C may not be transmitted from the player C to the player A in step S84, but may be transmitted from the player C via the server 200.

Here, in the map A of the player A, the information used to generate the map regarding the towers of other players will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a table showing an example of information about the towers of other players used to generate the map A. As shown in the figure, the table 830 contains at least information about the towers of player B, player C, and player J. For example, the information about the tower of the player B is stored in step S51 in the flowchart of FIG. 11, and the information about the tower of the player C is stored in step S75 in the flowchart of FIG. 12b. In addition, as for the information about the player J, for example, when the player J publishes the information about the player's tower on the SNS and the player A confirms the information (the player J's tower is displayed from the player J's URL schema). It may be received from the server 200 (when it is started) or the like. The information in the table 830 is updated when each player changes the height of the player's tower, items to be attached to the player character, and the like. Therefore, the player A can visit the tower of another player in the latest state. The information in the table 830 may be stored in the server 200 and generated by the map generation unit 254 of the server 200. Then, the server 200 may transmit the display information for displaying the generated map to the mobile terminal 100A from the transmission unit 212.

FIG. 14 is an example of a table stored in the status storage unit 262 of the server 200 and showing information about the towers of other players visited by each player. As shown in the figure, the table 840 stores items such as "towers visited", "number of floors reached", "coins acquired", "number of visits", and "acquired items" for each player. In the example of FIG. 14, player A is visiting the tower of "player B", and the number of reached floors is "sixth floor". Further, the player A has visited the tower of the player B "four times" and has acquired "ITM349".

Information indicating the progress of each player in the game in the tower of player A based on the table 840 shown in FIG. 14 will be described. FIG. 15 is an example of a table that stores the progress of each player in the game in the tower of player A. As shown in the figure, the table 850 stores the "player name", "number of floors reached", "acquired coins", "number of visits", etc. that visited the tower of player A. This table 850 is stored in the status storage unit 262 of the server 200.

Next, the process of determining the ranking in the tower of the player A based on the table 850 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing an example of a process for determining ranking. Prior to the explanation, it is assumed that the table 850 is stored in the status storage unit 262 of the server 200.

First, the comparison unit 253 of the server 200 compares the progress of the game by each player in the player's tower based on the table 850 (step S91). The server 200 transmits the received comparison result to each player (player B, player C in the example of the figure) via the communication unit 220 (step S92). Then, the comparison result is displayed on the display unit of the player B and the mobile terminals 100B and 100C of the player C (steps S93 and S94). The ranking may be based on the number of coins, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, or may be based on the number of visits. It is also possible to display the ranking based on the number of floors reached. The comparison result may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 100A of the player A and displayed on the display unit of the mobile terminal 100A.

Although the mode in which the server 200 determines the ranking is described in FIG. 16, the determination of the ranking in the tower of the player A may be performed on the mobile terminal side such as the player A. For example, when the information is performed on the mobile terminal 100A of the player A, the information in the table 850 is transmitted from the server 200 to the mobile terminal 100A via the network 300 and stored in the situation storage unit 162. Then, the comparison unit 156 of the mobile terminal 100A compares the progress of the game by each player in the player's tower based on the table 850. The comparison result may be transmitted to the server 200 via the communication unit 110, and the server 200 may transmit the comparison result to the mobile terminals 100B and 100C. The comparison result may be directly transmitted from the mobile terminal 100A to the mobile terminals 100B and 100C in the above-mentioned ad hoc mode or infrastructure mode without going through the server 200.

The effect of the present invention will be described again. As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, even if the tower of another player once visited by the player to explore and capture the inside, the number of floors of the tower of the other player is high the next time the player logs in. It may be. Since the enemy characters encountered and the items that can be acquired change according to the height of the tower, it is possible to give the player a motivation to visit and challenge the tower of another player as many times as possible, and it is possible to deepen the interaction between the players. Furthermore, since the battle record in the player's tower by multiple players is ranked and can be viewed by other players, it is possible to give a sense of accomplishment to the higher-ranking player and to the lower-ranking player as many times as possible in the game. It can motivate you to take on challenges. Furthermore, it is possible to give all players a sense of competition and promote interaction among a plurality of players.

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a unique reward (item, coin, etc.) can be obtained by entering the higher ranking in the tower of another player, so that the player can receive the game in the tower of the other player. Can be further motivated to challenge repeatedly.

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the reward given to the above-mentioned high-ranking player may be at least partially different for each tower of another player. Therefore, the player may visit the towers of the plurality of other players in order to rank higher in the towers of the plurality of other players, and therefore motivate each player so that the interaction between the plurality of players becomes active. can. Furthermore, since a unique item cannot be acquired unless it is ranked high in the ranking, when a unique item is acquired, the player is given a sense of accomplishment that he / she has an item that other players do not have. Can be done.

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the rewards given to other players who have explored the player's tower may be changed according to the player's achievements in the common tower or the battle tower. In this way, the player can make the player's tower attractive to other players according to the progress of his / her game, so that the player can have enthusiasm for the game. Moreover, since the tower of the player can be shown to other players, the motivation of the player can be enhanced. Further, since it is possible to give other players a motivation to visit the player's tower, it is possible to deepen the interaction between the players.

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the tower of another player can be captured by the player. Here, the level of the characteristic value of the appearing enemy character of the tower of another player having the same height as the tower of the player is about the same as the tower of the player. Therefore, it is not too difficult and not too easy for the player to capture the tower of other players, and the level is just right for enjoying the game, so that the player can maintain the motivation to play the game.

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the other player who can execute the game in the player's tower is associated with the player in other services (SNS, other games, etc.), that is, has a friendship. It can also be a player. In this way, the player's tower can be explored by friends on SNS and other games, so that the player and friends can be attracted to enjoy the game together.

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, information of another player who has visited the tower of the player is given to the player, and the player can be motivated to visit the tower of the other player. Therefore, it is possible to deepen the interaction between the players.

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, since a map regarding the towers of other players that the player can visit is generated and displayed to the player, the player can visit the towers of other players that he / she can visit. You can grasp it at a glance. Furthermore, since the tower of another player can be easily visited by tapping the map, the player can be motivated to visit the tower of another player, and the interaction between the players can be activated. ..

Further, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the player can decorate the player's tower with decorative elements. The decorated tower is displayed to other players in the same state. Therefore, the player can appeal the player's tower to other players by decorating the player's tower to his / her taste, and can give the player more interest.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the results of battles in the player's tower by a plurality of players are ranked and can be viewed by other players, so that a higher-ranking player can be given a sense of accomplishment and a lower-ranking player can be viewed. Players can be motivated to challenge the game as many times as they like. Furthermore, it is possible to promote interaction between a plurality of players.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, it goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as a configuration of another player's tower that can be visited by the player, another player's tower listed in the player's tower ranking may be visited by another player who has visited the player's tower (player's tower). Configuration derived from the ranking in). For example, when the server 200 transmits information about the tower of the player A to the mobile terminal of another player (player B), the other players (player C, player D, etc.) listed in the ranking of the tower of the player A, etc. ) (Including information about the height of the tower of another player and the equipment of another player character). Alternatively, the server 200 transmits display information for displaying the ranking of the tower of the player A to the mobile terminal of the player B, and displays the ranking on the mobile terminal (display unit) of the player B. Then, the player B taps and selects another player (player C, player D, etc.) displayed on the display unit (acceptance of operation information by the input reception unit), and information about the selected other player is displayed on the server 200. Send a request to send. Then, the server 200 can realize this by transmitting information about another player selected to the player B. According to this, the player may increase the number of other players who visit the tower of his / her own player by entering the ranking of the towers of other players having a large number of visitors. Therefore, it is possible to provide the player with motivation to work on the game in order to be ranked in the tower of the player with a large number of visitors.

As yet another configuration, when the player A interacts with the other player B (visiting or capturing the tower B of the other player), the player A can interact with the other player C, which is related to the other player B (as opposed to the other player B). It may be configured so that the tower C of another player can be visited). The relationship here refers to a case where the other player B has already captured the tower of the other player C, or the other player B and the other player C have a friendship in the SNS or another game. For example, when the player A advances the game in the tower of the other player B, the server 200 transmits information about the existence of the other player C (information indicating that the player C has an exchange relationship with the player B). The display processing unit displays the content such as "You can also visit the tower of player C captured by player B" in the notification displayed when the notification button 550 on the game start screen of FIG. 4 is tapped. Then, in the map of FIG. 5, the map generation unit displays the tower of the player C in the list 630. When the input receiving unit accepts the operation of the player A tapping the tower of the player C, the control unit controls the server 200 to receive the information about the tower of the player C, and receives the information about the tower of the player C. It can be realized by receiving from.

Further, in the above description, the mode in which the towers of other players are listed and displayed on the map has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the towers of other players are similar to the common towers in the map. It may be displayed above. Further, the tower of another player displayed on the map may be changed in the display position on the map according to the relationship with the player. For example, the tower of another player having a higher relationship with the player may be displayed at a closer distance to the tower of the player. Here, the term “highly related” refers to the tower of another player who has visited the tower of the player many times, or the tower of another player who has visited the tower of the player himself / herself. Further, the display position of the tower of another player displayed on the map may be changed according to the relationship between the other players. For example, the tower of the other player A may be displayed at a distance close to the tower of the other player B, which is closely related to the other player A (the number of visits by the other player A is large). For example, the comparison unit 253 of the server 200 compares the relationships between the players stored in the situation storage unit 262, and the map generation unit 254 changes the display interval of the towers of other players according to the relationships. All you have to do is generate the map information to be displayed. The display interval condition is stored in the storage unit 260 in advance. The generated map information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100, and the display processing unit 152 controls the display so that the map information is displayed on the display unit 120 of the mobile terminal 100.

With the above configuration, the player can confirm the relationship with other players centered on the player at a glance, and can be used as a guideline for interaction with other players.

Further, the information such as the parameters related to the tower of the other player may be changed according to the distance between the tower of the player and the tower of the other player as described above. For example, the number of coins required when a player visits another player's tower may be changed. For example, when the relationship between the player A and the player B is deep based on the comparison result of the above-mentioned relationship by the comparison unit 253, the information processing unit 251 causes the tower of another player (player B) to the mobile terminal of the player A. When transmitting information about the tower), the number of coins required for visiting the tower of player B may be slightly changed and transmitted. With such a configuration, the connection between players can be clearly shown, and the motivation for the player to visit the tower of another player or to have more other players visit the tower of the player. Can be given, and the interaction between the players can be activated.

Further, the player may be configured to be able to form a group with a plurality of other players. In this case, information on other players who can visit the player's tower and information on other players who can visit the player's tower may be shared within the group. For example, the tower of player A, which can be visited by one player in the group, may be configured to be visited by other players in the group. For this, for example, information about the group may be stored in the storage unit 260 of the server 200. The information about the group is updated according to the progress of the game of the player, which is periodically transmitted from the mobile terminal of each player. Then, information about the group is also stored in the storage unit 160 of the mobile terminal 100A, and information about other players in the group is periodically transmitted from the server 200 and updated (at the start of the game, at the time of screen transition, etc.). May be good. With such a configuration, even a player who has a small number of other players who can visit, such as a tower of a player who is a beginner of a game, can increase the number of other players who can visit by belonging to a group. It can and can activate the exchange. Furthermore, it is possible to enhance the interest of the game for beginners of the game.

Further, in the above description, the computer according to one aspect of the present invention functions as a mobile terminal (client device), and the game program according to one aspect of the present invention is executed on the mobile terminal as a so-called native application (native game). The configuration was explained. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the computer according to one aspect of the present invention functions as a server, and the game program according to one aspect of the present invention is a so-called web application (web game) of the game program. A part or all of the execution may be executed on the server, and the result of the executed processing may be returned to the mobile terminal. Further, the information about the player's tower transmitted from the server 200 to the mobile terminal of another player in the above may be directly transmitted from the mobile terminal of the player to the mobile terminal of the other player. That is, data may be transmitted and received by communication between mobile terminals.

When displaying the result of the game via a web browser, the mobile terminal 100A can store the information received from the server 200 in a predetermined storage area (web storage) mounted on the web browser, for example. ..

As described above, the server 200 includes a part or all of each functional unit (particularly, the control unit 150) described as the mobile terminal 100A, and the server 200 is based on the input given to the mobile terminal 100A. The output result of the above can be transmitted to the mobile terminal 100A. As a result, the server 200 has the same effect as that of the mobile terminal 100A when the mobile terminal 100A provides the function.

For example, in the above description, the process is described as the process performed by the reward giving unit 255 of the server 200, but the reward giving unit 154 of the mobile terminal 100A assigns another player who gives a reward peculiar to the own game area to the own game by a plurality of other players. It may be determined based on the comparison result of the progress of the game in the area. The reward given by the reward giving unit 154 may be at least partially different for each of the plurality of game areas. Further, the reward giving unit 154 advances the game in the own game area associated with the player according to the progress of the game in the above-mentioned own game area or another game area different from the other game area by the player. Change the reward given to the player to a different one.

Further, although described above as the processing performed by the comparison unit 253 of the server 200, the comparison unit 156 of the mobile terminal 100A may compare the progress of the game in the own game area among a plurality of other players. Further, the comparison unit 156 may compare the stage of the other game area associated with the other player with the stage of the own game area.

The progress screen of the game is a web display displayed on the mobile terminal 100A based on the data generated by the server 200, and other menu screens and the like are displayed by the native application installed on the mobile terminal 100A. The game according to the present invention may be a hybrid game in which the server 200 and the mobile terminal 100A each play a part in the processing.

Further, the mobile terminal 100A and the other mobile terminals 100B and 100C are communicably connected (so-called peer-to-peer communication), and the game can be multi-played by synchronizing with each other.

Further, the above-mentioned control method may optionally include not only the processing described with reference to the flowchart but also the processing executed in each unit included in the control units 150 and 250.

Further, in the above description, the battle game in the tower has been described as a game realized by the game program according to the embodiment of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the game program according to the present invention can be realized in various games such as a company management game, a farm management game, and a character training game.
