<Progress of the game according to the present embodiment>
Hereinafter, each functional configuration illustrated in FIG. 2 will be described along with the progress of the game according to the present embodiment.

(1-1) Objects to be Operated by Players The player management means 210 manages objects to be operated by players (hereinafter referred to as "operated objects") in association with the account information of each player.
The object to be operated in this embodiment is a modeled round ball, and a character is associated with each of them.
The objects to be operated in the implementation of the present invention are not particularly limited in shape or type, and may be characters (including people), sports equipment such as balls and bats, vehicles such as cars and airplanes, etc. can be changed as appropriate according to the contents of

The player can acquire an operation target object as a privilege when a certain condition is satisfied (for example, when account information is created, when each stage is cleared, etc.). The object to be operated acquired by the player is managed by the player management means 210 in association with the account information of the player.
In the following description, the fact that the player management means 210 manages the operation target object in association with the player's account information may be expressed as "the player owns the operation target object".

A unique parameter is assigned to each operation target object, and the parameter is used for various processes related to game control.
The hit point, which is one of the parameters, is used to calculate the amount of damage that the player can withstand in processing damage caused by attacks from enemies.
The attack power, which is one of the parameters, is used for calculating the amount of damage given to the enemy in the damage processing by the player's attack.
The speed, which is one of the parameters, is used for calculation of movement control processing when the operation target object moves based on the player's operation.
The level, which is one of the parameters, increases (levels up) when the experience value obtained as the game progresses exceeds a predetermined value. hit points, attack power, and speed are increased.
Note that each parameter described here is an example of a parameter assigned to an operation target object, and other parameters not described may be assigned.

The player can select an operation target object to be used in the game. At this time, the operation input means 110 accepts an operation input by the player, the operation processing means 240 specifies an operation target object based on the accepted operation input, and the player management means 210 specifies the specified operation target object, It is managed as an operation target object used in the game.
It should be noted that the timing of selecting the operation target object is preferably prior to selecting the stage to be played, but implementation of the present invention is not necessarily limited to this aspect.

Although the number of operation target objects used in the game is not particularly limited, the game according to the present embodiment will be described assuming that there are four.
In the case of solo play, four operation target objects are selected by selection processing received from a single player (one user terminal 100). In this case, the selectable operation target objects may be limited to the operation target objects owned by the player itself, or may be selected from among the operation target objects owned by other players. .
In the case of multiplay, four operation target objects are selected by selection processing received from a plurality of players (a plurality of user terminals 100). For example, when multiplay is performed by four players (four user terminals 100), each player may select one operation target object. In this case, the selectable operation target objects may be limited to the operation target objects owned by the player itself, or may be selected from among the operation target objects owned by other players. .

(1-2) Regarding Stage Configuration A player selects a stage to play and plays a game aiming at clearing the selected stage.
Here, a stage represents a unit of virtual space in the game, and consists of a plurality of maps. In the description of this embodiment, the stage corresponds to the "virtual stage" of the invention, and the map corresponds to the "virtual space" of the invention.
However, the virtual space suffices as long as it is a space in which objects can be placed in the game, and the name is not particularly limited in the practice of the present invention, and other names (for example, surface, floor, course, area, field, etc.) are used. may be replaced with

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the configuration of a certain stage S1.
The stage S1 is composed of a first map M1, a second map M2, a third map M3 and a fourth map M4.
The first map M1, the second map M2, the third map M3, and the fourth map M4 are displayed on the display means 120 in such a size that they fit in the display area one by one. , the first map M1, the second map M2, the third map M3, and the fourth map M4.

For convenience of explanation, the first map M1, the second map M2, the third map M3, and the fourth map M4 are shown as if they constitute stage S1 by continuously connecting them. Each map data may be individually read and displayed on the display means 120, or a plurality of map data may be read collectively and displayed on the display means 120. FIG.

(1-3) First Map M1 FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the first map M1 at the start of the game relating to stage S1.
At this timing (at the start of the game relating to stage S1), the object placement means 230 places the enemy object E1, the enemy object E2, the enemy object E3, and the wall object W1.
Subsequently, the object placement means 230 places the four operation target objects SA, operation target objects SB, operation target objects SC, and operation target objects SD selected by the player for use in the game related to stage S1 on the first map M1. be placed within
The display control means 290 causes the display means 120 to display the virtual space (first map M1) and the objects placed in the virtual space by the object placement means 230 .

The operation target object SA, the operation target object SB, the operation target object SC, and the operation target object SD are objects to be operated by the player, and the player can operate them one by one in each incoming turn.
In the present embodiment, the order of arrival of turns is repeated in the order of operation subject object SA, operation subject object SB, operation subject object SC, and operation subject object SD.

It should be noted that in the implementation of the present invention, operations on the operation target object do not necessarily have to be turn-based. For example, in the case of multiplayer, multiple players may be able to operate the operation target object at any timing.

The enemy object E1, the enemy object E2, and the enemy object E3 are objects to be attacked by the player, and hit points are assigned to each of them. When the assigned hit points become zero, the enemy object is defeated and disappears from the first map M1.

The wall object W1 is an object that obstructs the movement of the operation target object, and the operation target object does not enter the area where the wall object W1 is arranged.
Further, although not shown, wall objects are arranged outside the four edges of the first map M1, so that the operation target object does not deviate from the outside area of the first map M1.

As described above, it can be said that the game according to the present embodiment is played with a plurality of objects (operation target object, enemy object, wall object) arranged in a virtual space (map).
Since the virtual space in this embodiment is a two-dimensional space, the objects are also two-dimensional. However, if the virtual space is a three-dimensional space, the objects may also be three-dimensional.

As shown in FIG. 4, an HP gauge H1 indicating the player's hit points is displayed at the bottom of the first map M1. The HP gauge H1 is also displayed on maps other than the first map M1 (the second map M2, the third map M3, and the fourth map M4).
The initial value of hit points given to the player is, in principle, the sum total of hit points assigned to the object to be operated selected by the player, but the initial value may change due to the use of items, etc. may

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the first map M1 when the turn for operating the operation target object SA has arrived.
In this turn, when the player touches the area where the operation target object SA is displayed and pulls the operation target object SA in a certain direction (lower left direction in FIG. 5), the operation is performed in the opposite direction. An arrow display AA is displayed (toward the upper right on the drawing in FIG. 5).
In terms of game control, when the touch position of the player detected by the operation input means 110 overlaps the display area of the operation target object SA on the display means 120, the operation processing means 240 is accepting an operation targeting the operation target object SA. Detect something. Then, the display control means 290 causes the display means 120 to display an arrow display AA pointing in the opposite direction (180 degrees opposite direction) to the direction in which the position touched by the player moves from the display position of the operation target object SA. A display such as 5 is realized.

FIG. 6 shows the first map M1 when the player releases the touch screen 106 in the state shown in FIG. 6 indicates the direction in which the operation target object SA actually moves, and is not displayed on the display means 120. As shown in FIG.
In this case, the operation target object SA moves in the direction indicated by the arrow display AA in FIG. 5 (the direction of the arrow D1).

The operation target object SA, which has moved in the direction of arrow D1, collides with and is reflected by the enemy object E3, and moves in the direction of arrow D2. The collision determination means 260 determines whether or not there is a collision between the operation subject object SA and the enemy object E3. The enemy object E3 appears to have a sharp and irregular outline when displayed on the display means 120, but is given a substantially circular collision determination area (not shown) when determined by the collision determination means 260. Therefore, the operation target object SA that has collided with the enemy object E3 is not reflected irregularly.

When the moved operation subject object SA collides with the enemy object E3, the player attack processing means 270 calculates the damage amount based on the attack power assigned to the operation subject object SA, and the calculated damage amount is applied to the enemy object E3. give to

The operation target object SA that has moved in the direction of the arrow D2 collides with a wall object (not shown) on the right edge of the first map M1, is reflected, and moves in the direction of the arrow D3.
The operation target object SA that has moved in the direction of arrow D3 collides with and reflects from the operation target object SC, and moves in the direction of arrow D4. At this time, the operation subject object SC that has collided with the operation subject object SA also moves in the direction of the arrow D5 due to the recoil of the collision.

While the operation subject object SA is moving, the movement control process is repeatedly executed, and the movement speed of the operation subject object SA is controlled to gradually decelerate.
The control of the movement speed of the operation target object will be described in detail in <Operation target object speed calculation processing> described later.

As described above, the operation target object SA, which has started to move by the player's operation, repeats reflection when it collides with each object at the destination until its moving speed becomes zero (until it stops).
Note that the game control processing (including the determination processing by the collision determination means 260 and the calculation of the damage amount by the player attack processing means 270) for realizing the series of flows described above with reference to FIG. 5 will be described later. Processing Procedure of Movement Control Processing>.

When the movement of the operation target object SA stops, the turn of the operation target object SA ends and the enemy object attacks. The damage amount of the attack by the enemy object is calculated by the enemy attack processing means 280.
The turn in which the enemy object attacks does not necessarily have to come between the turns of the operation target objects, and some of them may be omitted.

(1-4) Regarding Transition from a Certain Map to the Next Map As a condition for transitioning from the first map M1 to the second map M2, in this embodiment, all enemy objects placed on the first map M1 Destroying (enemy object E1, enemy object E2, and enemy object E3) is determined. The game progress control means 220 determines whether or not the condition is satisfied, and when the condition is satisfied, shifts from the first map M1 to the second map M2.
This condition is just one specific example, and the condition for transitioning from one map to the next can be changed as appropriate. For example, the condition may be to destroy all enemy objects within a predetermined turn, to destroy a specific enemy object, or to increase the hit points of a specific enemy object. It may be determined to be less than or equal to a predetermined value.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the first map M1 when all enemy objects placed on the first map M1 have been defeated. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the second map M2 when shifted from the first map M1.
As is clear from comparing FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the placement of each operation target object in the second map M2 when transitioned from the first map M1 (the placement of each operation target object at the start of the second map M2). is determined based on the placement of each operation target object when all the enemy objects placed on the first map M1 are defeated (the placement of each operation target object at the end of the first map M1), so in principle be in the same position.
However, other objects (enemy object E4, enemy object E5, enemy object E6, and wall object) predetermined for the second map M2 are compared with the position of each operation target object at the final time of the first map M1. If the position of W2) overlaps, the object arrangement means 230 places priority on the arrangement of other objects, so that the arrangement of each operation target object moves to a position where it does not overlap with other objects. .

7 and 8, the value indicated by the HP gauge H1 at the start of the second map M2 reflects the value indicated by the HP gauge H1 at the end of the first map M1. Therefore, the value will be the same. However, as a benefit when shifting from the first map M1 to the second map M2, the value indicated by the HP gauge H1 may increase (the player's hit points may be recovered).

(1-5) Boss Enemy Objects and Clearing Stages FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the third map M3 after shifting from the second map M2. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the fourth map M4 when shifted from the third map M3.
The object placement means 230 places a wall object W3, an enemy object E7, an enemy object E8, and a boss enemy object B1 in addition to each operation target object in the third map M3.
Further, the object placement means 230 places a wall object W4, an enemy object E9, an enemy object E10, and a boss enemy object B1 in the fourth map M4 in addition to the operation target objects.
As is clear from comparing the placements of both, the boss enemy object B1 is placed on both the third map M3 and the fourth map M4.

The boss enemy object B1 is assigned higher hit points than normal enemy objects, so it is harder to defeat than normal enemy objects.
The hit points of the boss enemy object B1 are displayed on the HP gauge H2 positioned above the third map M3 and the fourth map M4.
The condition for shifting from the third map M3 to the fourth map M4 (corresponding to the predetermined condition of the present invention) is that the HP gauge H2 displayed on the third map M3 has decreased to the left end (one line gauge) is stipulated. The game progress control means 220 determines whether or not the condition is satisfied, and when the condition is satisfied, shifts from the third map M3 to the fourth map M4.
The clear condition for clearing the fourth map M4, which is the last map, is that the HP gauge H2 displayed on the fourth map M4 must decrease to the left end (two gauges including the gauge on the third map M3). The gauge runs out and the hit points of the boss enemy object B1 become zero).
The game progress control means 220 determines whether or not the clear condition is satisfied, and if the clear condition is satisfied, ends the fourth map M4 and clears the stage S1. That is, the game progress control means 220 functions as a clear determination means according to the present invention.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the fourth map M4 when the turn for operating the operation target object SC has arrived. Incidentally, in the state shown in FIG. 11, the enemy objects E9 and E10 have already been defeated.
In this turn, when the player touches the area where the operation target object SC is displayed and pulls the operation target object SC in a certain direction (lower left direction in FIG. 11), the operation is performed in the opposite direction. An arrow display AC is displayed (in FIG. 11, pointing to the upper right on the drawing).
In terms of game control, when the touch position of the player detected by the operation input means 110 overlaps the display area of the operation target object SC on the display means 120, the operation processing means 240 is accepting an operation for the operation target object SC. Detect something. Then, the display control means 290 causes the display means 120 to display an arrow display AC pointing in the opposite direction (180 degrees opposite direction) to the direction in which the position touched by the player moves from the display position of the operation target object SC. A representation such as 11 is realized.

FIG. 12 shows the fourth map M4 when the player releases the touch screen 106 in the state shown in FIG. 12 indicates the direction in which the operation target object SC moves.
In this case, the operation target object SA moves in the direction indicated by the arrow display AC in FIG. 11 (the direction of the arrow D6).
The operation target object SA that has moved in the direction of the arrow D6 collides with the boss enemy object B1. At the time of this collision, the amount of damage calculated by the player attack processing means 270 reduced the hit points of the boss enemy object B1, and as a result, the hit points of the boss enemy object B1 became zero and the boss enemy object B1 was defeated. do.

FIG. 13 shows the fourth map M4 after the state shown in FIG. 13 indicates the direction in which the operation target object SC moves.
Here, the display control means 290 causes the display means 120 to display a display indicating that the boss enemy object B1 has been defeated (hereinafter referred to as a boss defeated display), specifically, a display in which the boss enemy object B1 is distorted. . In other words, when the clear condition is satisfied in the virtual space (when the hit points of the boss enemy object B1 become zero), the display control means 290 displays the specific display (boss defeated display) after the clear condition is satisfied. is displayed on the display means 120 .

As shown in FIG. 13, the period during which the object to be operated moves on the fourth map M4 based on the player's operation continues even after the boss enemy object B1 is defeated. The periods displayed may overlap. If the movement of the operation target object continues for a long time, the visibility of the boss defeat display may be hindered, and the player's interest obtained by defeating the boss enemy (satisfying the clear condition) may be spoiled.
However, in the situation as described above, the movement control means 250 greatly decelerates the movement speed of the operation target object SC before and after the boss enemy object B1 is defeated. The object will stop immediately.
Therefore, in the situation described above, the player's viewpoint can be smoothly directed to the boss defeat display, and the risk of spoiling the interest of the player can be reduced.

Note that the collision determination area given to the boss enemy object B1 disappears when the hit points of the boss enemy object B1 become zero, and the operation target object can enter the display area of the boss defeat display. may
Alternatively, the collision determination area may remain during the boss defeated display even after the hit points of the boss enemy object B1 become zero, and the operation target object may not be able to enter the display area of the boss defeated display. .

In the practice of the present invention, it is sufficient that the specific display (for example, the boss defeated display) is displayed after the clear condition is satisfied. may start to be displayed after a certain period of time has passed since
Modifications of the display that can correspond to the specific display include, for example, a display showing a privilege obtained when a boss enemy object is defeated, a display showing stage clearing, a result display after stage clearing, and the like.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that a specific display (boss defeated display) is displayed on the display means 120 when the clear condition is satisfied in the fourth map M4, which is the final virtual space included in the virtual stage (stage S1). However, implementation of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.
For example, even if there is no virtual stage including a plurality of virtual spaces, a specific display may be displayed on the display means 120 according to the satisfaction of the clear condition in a single virtual space.
Alternatively, if the clear condition for clearing the stage is configured to be achieved in the virtual space in the middle of the virtual stage, and the last virtual space is treated as an extra, the specific display is displayed by the display means in the virtual space where the clear condition is achieved. 120 may be displayed.

In the present embodiment, a display (not distorting the boss enemy object B1) that is related to the clearing condition "hit points of the boss enemy object B1 become zero (destroy the boss enemy object B1)". Although the description has been made assuming that the display corresponding to the specific display corresponds to the specific display, it may be understood that the specific display corresponds to a specific display that has nothing to do with the clear condition.
For example, display related to the character associated with the operation target object, display related to the content of a stage other than the cleared stage, and the like.

Further, after the clear condition is satisfied, when the speed of the operation target object becomes equal to or less than a predetermined speed (for example, stop), an effect related to game clear (game clear effect) may be started. In this case, compared to the case where the operation target object is not decelerated after the clear condition is satisfied, in this embodiment, the waiting time of the player from the timing when the clear condition is satisfied until the game clear effect is started can be reduced. can be done. As a result, the time from when the player satisfies the clear condition until the start of the game clear effect can be shortened, and the tempo of the game can be improved without omitting the game-related effect.

<Procedure of Movement Control Processing>
Next, a processing procedure of movement control processing will be described.
FIG. 14 is a flow chart showing a processing procedure of movement control processing.
Here, the movement control process is mainly executed by the movement control means 250 among the processes performed during the period from when the operation target object starts moving to when it stops moving based on the player's operation. However, the processing executed by cooperation between the movement control means 250 and other functional components can also be understood as part of the movement control processing.

The movement control processing illustrated in FIG. 14 is repeatedly performed for each frame. In the practice of the present invention, the number of frames per second is not particularly limited, but if the number of frames is 30, for example, the movement control process will be repeated every 1/30th of a second.
The execution interval of the movement control process may be longer or shorter than the above cycle. Also, the movement control process does not necessarily have to be executed in all frames. For example, if a specific interrupt process occurs, the execution of the movement control process may be restricted during execution of that process.

In step S102, the movement control means 250 determines whether movement of the operation target object has started in the frame based on the player's operation.
If the condition of step S102 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S104.
If the condition of step S102 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S122.

In step S104, the movement control means 250 determines whether or not the operation target object operated in the current turn has collided with another object in the frame (whether the determination by the collision determination means 260 is affirmative or negative). judge.
If the condition of step S104 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S106.
If the condition of step S104 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S114.

In step S106, the movement control means 250 determines whether the frame is after the boss enemy object is defeated.
If the condition of step S106 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S108.
If the condition of step S106 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S112.

In step S108, the movement control means 250 performs normal speed calculation processing, and proceeds to step S110.
In step S112, the movement control means 250 executes speed calculation processing after the boss enemy is defeated, and proceeds to step S110.
In step S110, the display control means 290 generates a display reflecting the speed calculation processing in step S108 or the calculation result in step S112, and causes the display means 120 to display the generated display.
Note that the speed calculation processing in step S108 and the speed calculation processing in step S112 will be described in detail later in <Speed calculation processing of operation target object>.

In step S114, the movement control means 250 performs arithmetic processing for deriving the movement vector of the operation target object after the collision based on the movement vector of the operation target object before the collision and the angle of the collision surface of the colliding object. Execute, and proceed to step S116.
In step S116, the movement control means 250 executes velocity calculation processing at the time of collision, and proceeds to step S118.

In step S118, the player attack processing means 270 determines whether or not the collided object is an enemy object.
If the condition of step S118 is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S120, where the player attack processing means 270 executes arithmetic processing for calculating the amount of damage inflicted on the colliding enemy object based on the attack power assigned to the operation target object. Then, the process proceeds to step S110.
If the condition of step S118 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S110 without performing the process of step S120.

In step S110, the display control means 290 generates a display reflecting the calculation results of the vector calculation process of step S114, the speed calculation process of step S116, and the player attack process of step S120 if the condition of step S118 is satisfied. and causes the display means 120 to display the generated display.
Note that the speed calculation processing in step S116 will also be described in detail in <Operation Target Object Speed Calculation Processing> described later.

In step S122, the movement control means 250 sets the movement vector of the operation target object to start moving based on the movement direction of the touch operation detected by the operation processing means 240 in the opposite direction (displayed on the display means 120). The direction of the arrow display) is executed, and the process proceeds to step S124.
In step S124, the movement control means 250 executes speed calculation processing for calculating the speed (initial speed) at the start of movement of the operation target object that starts moving, and proceeds to step S110.
In step S110, the display control means 290 generates a display reflecting the calculation results of the vector calculation process of step S122 and the speed calculation process of step S124, and causes the display means 120 to display the generated display.
Note that the velocity calculation processing in step S124 will also be described in detail in <Operation Target Object Velocity Calculation Processing>, which will be described later.

As described above, the movement control means 250 can be said to control the movement of the movable object in the virtual space.
More specifically, the movement control means 250 repeats (periodically) at least speed calculation processing of the operation target object during a period from when the movement of the operation target object is started to when it is stopped based on the player's operation. It can be said that it is a thing. However, it is assumed that no specific interrupt processing that limits the processing by the movement control means 250 occurs.

<Speed calculation processing of the object to be operated>
The speed calculation processing related to the initial speed of the operation target object at the start of movement (speed calculation processing in step S124) is calculated based on the speed assigned to the operation target object.
In addition, the speed calculation process is based on factors other than the speed (for example, the distance the player pulled the object to be operated, the timing of the player releasing the hand from the touch screen 106, whether or not an item that increases the speed is used, the current The initial velocity of the operation target object may be calculated by reflecting the compatibility between the map and the operation target object, etc.).

Let |v _t | (scalar value) be the speed of the operation target object in unit frame t in the game, normal speed calculation processing (speed calculation processing in step S108) is expressed by the following equation. Note that α in the following equation corresponds to the predetermined coefficient described above.

The value of α is determined depending on the map, and is greater than 0 and less than 1 in principle. However, the value of α may exceptionally be greater than 1 due to, for example, items that accelerate or gimmicks.

On the other hand, the speed calculation process at the time of collision (the speed calculation process in step S116) is represented by the following equation. Note that α _obj in the following equation also corresponds to the predetermined coefficient described above.

Here, the value of α _obj is determined depending on the type of the collided object, and in principle it is greater than zero and less than 1 in common with α above. However, the value of α _obj is set to a value greater than 1 exceptionally for an object that accelerates the operation target object upon collision.

Further, the speed calculation processing after defeating the boss enemy (speed calculation processing in step S112) is represented by the following equation. Note that α _fin in the following equation also corresponds to the predetermined coefficient described above.

As described above, α, α _obj , and α _fin are all predetermined coefficients used in speed calculation processing for calculating the moving speed of the operation target object. The movement control means 250 uses a predetermined coefficient for the movement control processing (speed calculation processing) of the operation target object to be operated by the player. Speed is adjustable.
Since the predetermined coefficient related to this movement control processing (speed calculation processing) is multiplied, the smaller the value, the greater the reduction in the movement speed of the operation target object due to the movement control processing.

Here, the value of α _fin is determined in common in each stage, and is greater than zero and less than 1 without exception. Also, the value of α _fin is set to a value sufficiently smaller than both the value of α and the value of α _obj in principle. That is, the difference between α _and α _fin and the difference between α obj and α _fin are larger than the difference between α and α _obj .
Therefore, the period after defeating the boss enemy is significantly decelerated compared to other periods during which the operation target object is moving.
In other words, when the clear condition is satisfied in the virtual space (the map at the end of the stage), the movement control means 250 uses a predetermined coefficient for movement control processing executed before the timing at which the clear condition is satisfied and the timing at which the clear condition is satisfied. It can be said that the movement speed of the operation target object is greatly reduced after the timing by changing the predetermined coefficient used for the movement control processing executed later.

When the movement control means 250 performs the deceleration processing as described above, the object to be operated is quickly stopped, so that the tempo of the progress of the game can be increased after the clear condition is satisfied.

In addition, as far as the value of α _obj defined for the boss enemy object is concerned, in principle, it is smaller than the value of α. It tends to decelerate more than processing.
As described above, since the value of α _fin is generally smaller than both the value of α and the value of α _obj , movement control processing ( speed arithmetic processing) can be summarized as having the following characteristics.
(b) The movement control means 250 controls the first timing (the timing at which normal speed calculation processing is executed) which is the timing before the clear condition is satisfied in the virtual space, and the first timing which is the timing when the clear condition is satisfied. At the second timing (the timing at which speed calculation processing is executed at the time of collision), and the third timing (the timing at which speed calculation processing is executed after defeating the boss enemy), which is the timing after the clear condition is satisfied. Movement control processing can be executed.
(b) Predetermined coefficient α used for movement control processing executed at first timing, predetermined coefficient α _{obj used for movement control processing executed at second timing, and predetermined coefficient α obj} used for movement control processing executed at third timing , the predetermined coefficient α _fin is smaller.
By having the features shown in (a) and (b) above, before and after the boss enemy object is defeated, the degree of deceleration of the operation target object increases step by step, so that the operation target object comes to a quicker stop. Therefore, it is possible to strengthen the effect of increasing the tempo of the progress of the game.

In addition, since the size relationship is as shown in (b) above, when the boss enemy object is defeated (when the clear conditions in the fourth map M4 are satisfied), the map will shift from another map to the next map. It can be said that the movement speed of the operation target object is greatly reduced compared to the case where
More specifically, when the clear condition in the final virtual space (fourth map M4) is satisfied, the movement control means 250 changes the predetermined coefficient before and after the timing when the clear condition is satisfied, thereby changing the clear condition. After the condition is satisfied, the moving speed of the operation target object is significantly decelerated. Furthermore, the deceleration of the movement speed of the operation target object before and after the timing before and after the timing when a predetermined condition (condition for shifting to the next map) defined in the virtual space other than the last virtual space is satisfied. It can be said that this is larger than the deceleration of the moving speed of the operation target object.
As a result, when clearing the last virtual space (when clearing the stage), which tends to attract the player's attention, the movement of the object to be operated that hinders the visibility of the specific display (boss defeat display) is suppressed. can do.

In addition, since there is a magnitude relationship as in (b) above, the movement speed of the operation target object before and after the timing when the predetermined condition defined in the other virtual space is satisfied (the timing when the next map is moved to) is calculated. It can be said that the deceleration is smaller than the deceleration of the movement speed of the operation target object at the timing when the final clear condition in the virtual space is satisfied (the timing when the hit points of the boss enemy object become zero).
In this way, the degree of deceleration processing at the time of transition to the next map is smaller than the degree of deceleration processing at the time of clearing the last map. Continuity of the game can be ensured at the time of transition between maps.

<Regarding Modifications of the Present Invention>
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments described with reference to the respective drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved. Modifications, improvements, etc. are also included.

The game program according to the above embodiment may be provided with various processes according to the above embodiment by being stored in a computer-readable recording medium.
Here, the computer-readable recording medium may be a magnetic medium such as flash memory, ROM, or RAM, or an optical medium such as CD-ROM or DVD-ROM.

The game according to the above embodiment relates to a specific example of implementation of the present invention, and its aspect is not limited to this.
For example, the present invention may be applied to various types of games such as action games, shooting games, puzzle games, role-playing games, and sports games.

The "clear condition" in the above embodiment was that the hit points of the boss enemy object become zero (destroy the boss enemy object), but in the implementation of the present invention, it is for clearing the virtual space. If so, the content is not particularly limited.
For example, in a fighting action game, it may be to defeat the opponent, in a soccer game, it may be to win the opposing team, and in a golf game, a golf ball may be put in. It may be

In the above-described embodiment, the arithmetic processing using the predetermined coefficients calculates the moving speed of the operation target object, but implementation of the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, the predetermined coefficient is sufficient as long as it is used for calculation processing related to movement control of the operation target object, and may be used for calculation for calculating the movement distance of the operation target object. It may be one that is used in an operation for calculating the movement direction (vector).

In the above embodiment, it has been described that the smaller the value of the predetermined coefficient related to the movement control process, the greater the reduction in the moving speed of the operation target object due to the movement control process. However, implementation of the present invention is not limited to this. .
For example, when the predetermined coefficient related to the movement control process is a concept imitating the coefficient of friction, the larger the value of the predetermined coefficient, the greater the reduction in the moving speed of the operation target object due to the movement control process.

In the above embodiment, when the conditions for clearing the virtual space (particularly the conditions for clearing the virtual space at the end of the stage) are satisfied, by changing the predetermined coefficient related to the movement control process before and after the timing at which the clearing conditions are satisfied, Although the processing for decelerating the moving speed of the operation target object has been mentioned, similar deceleration processing may be performed based on other conditions.
For example, on the condition that a condition (corresponding to a predetermined condition of the present invention) for shifting from a certain virtual space to the next virtual space is satisfied, a predetermined coefficient related to the movement control process is applied before and after the timing when the condition is satisfied. may be changed to decelerate the moving speed of the operation target object. Note that the deceleration of the moving speed of the operation target object according to this modification is preferably smaller than the deceleration of the moving speed of the operation target object when the clear condition is satisfied.
Alternatively, on the condition that a lottery (for example, random number lottery) is won with a predetermined probability, a predetermined coefficient related to the movement control process is changed before and after the timing when the condition is satisfied, so that the object to be operated is selected. You may slow down your movement speed.
Or, triggered by a condition that occurs in the middle of the virtual space (for example, when the object to be operated enters a predetermined area, or when the object to be operated collides with a predetermined object, etc.), it moves before or after the timing when the condition occurs. The moving speed of the operation target object may be reduced by changing a predetermined coefficient related to control processing.

In the above embodiment, as a method of inflicting damage on an enemy object, colliding the operation target object was mentioned, but implementation of the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, when an operated object collides with another operated object, the skill of the operated object may be activated to damage the enemy object.

Further, in the above embodiment, after the clear condition is satisfied, the operation target object is decelerated more than before the clear condition is satisfied. You may make it accelerate more greatly than . By doing so, for example, in a game in which the game clear effect is started after the operation target object reaches a predetermined position, the time required for the operation target object to reach the predetermined position can be shortened. It is possible to improve the tempo of
