The user terminal 100 may include an input/output IF 14 to which a display (display unit) configured separately from the main body of the user terminal 100 can be connected instead of or in addition to the touch screen 15.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the user terminal 100 may be configured to be able to communicate with one or more controllers 1020. The controller 1020 establishes communication with the user terminal 100 according to a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark). The controller 1020 may have one or more buttons or the like, and transmits an output value based on a user's input operation to the buttons or the like to the user terminal 100. Further, the controller 1020 may have various sensors such as an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity sensor, and outputs output values of the various sensors to the user terminal 100.

The user terminal 100 may have the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 instead of or in addition to the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18.

It is desirable that the user terminal 100 causes a user who uses the controller 1020 to input user identification information such as a name or a login ID of the user via the controller 1020, for example, at the start of the game. This allows the user terminal 100 to associate the controller 1020 with the user, and specifies which user the output value belongs to based on the transmission source (controller 1020) of the received output value. be able to.

When the user terminal 100 communicates with the plurality of controllers 1020, each controller 1020 is held by each user, so that the one user terminal 100 does not communicate with other devices such as the server 200 via the network 2. Multiplayer can be realized with. In addition, each user terminal 100 communicates with each other according to a wireless standard such as a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) standard (communicatively connects without passing through the server 200), thereby realizing multi-play locally by a plurality of user terminals 100. You can also do it. When the above-mentioned multiplay is locally realized by one user terminal 100, the user terminal 100 may further include at least a part of various functions of the server 200, which will be described later. When the above-described multiplay is locally realized by a plurality of user terminals 100, the plurality of user terminals 100 may be provided with various functions of the server 200, which will be described later, in a distributed manner.

Note that the user terminal 100 may communicate with the server 200 even when the above-described multiplay is realized locally. For example, information indicating a play result such as a score or a win or loss in a game and user identification information may be associated with each other and transmitted to the server 200.

Further, the controller 1020 may be configured to be attachable to and detachable from the user terminal 100.

Each of the above-described units as a mechanism for inputting can be regarded as an operation unit configured to receive an input operation of a user.

For example, when the operation unit is configured by at least one of the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18, the operation unit detects an object 1010 near the user terminal 100 and performs an input operation from the detection result of the object. Identify. As an example, the user's hand as the object 1010, a marker having a predetermined shape, or the like is detected, and the input operation is specified based on the color, shape, movement, or type of the object 1010 obtained as a detection result. It More specifically, when the user's hand is detected from the image captured by the camera 17, the user terminal 100 operates the gesture (a series of movements of the user's hand) detected based on the captured image by the user's input operation. As specified and accepted. The captured image may be a still image or a moving image.

Alternatively, when the operation unit includes the touch screen 15, the user terminal 100 identifies and accepts the user's operation performed on the input unit 151 of the touch screen 15 as the user's input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the communication IF 13, the user terminal 100 identifies and receives a signal (for example, an output value) transmitted from the controller 1020 as a user input operation. Alternatively, when the operation unit is configured by the input/output IF 14, a signal output from an input device (not shown) different from the controller 1020 connected to the input/output IF 14 is specified and accepted as the user's input operation.

<Hardware components of each device>
The processor 10 controls the operation of the entire user terminal 100. The processor 20 controls the operation of the entire server 200. The processors 10 and 20 include a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), and a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

The processor 10 reads a program from the storage 12 described later and loads it into the memory 11 described later. The processor 20 reads a program from a storage 22 described later and loads it into a memory 21 described later. The processor 10 and the processor 20 execute the expanded program.

Memories 11 and 21 are main storage devices. The memories 11 and 21 are storage devices such as a ROM (Read Only Memory) and a RAM (Random Access Memory). The memory 11 provides a work area to the processor 10 by temporarily storing a program and various data read by the processor 10 from a storage 12 described later. The memory 11 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 10 operates according to a program. The memory 21 provides a work area to the processor 20 by temporarily storing various programs and data read by the processor 20 from a storage 22 described later. The memory 21 also temporarily stores various data generated while the processor 20 operates according to the program.

In the present embodiment, the program may be a game program for realizing the game on the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation between the user terminal 100 and the server 200. Note that the game realized by the cooperation of the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be, for example, a game executed on a browser activated in the user terminal 100. Alternatively, the program may be a game program for realizing the game by cooperation of a plurality of user terminals 100. In addition, various data includes data regarding a game such as user information and game information, and instructions or notifications transmitted and received between the user terminal 100 and the server 200 or between a plurality of user terminals 100.

The storages 12 and 22 are auxiliary storage devices. The storages 12 and 22 are configured by a storage device such as a flash memory or an HDD (Hard Disk Drive). The storage 12 and the storage 22 store various data relating to the game.

The communication IF 13 controls transmission/reception of various data in the user terminal 100. The communication IF 23 controls transmission/reception of various data in the server 200. The communication IFs 13 and 23 control communication using a wireless LAN (Local Area Network), Internet communication via a wired LAN, a wireless LAN, or a mobile phone network, and communication using short-distance wireless communication, for example.

The input/output IF 14 is an interface for the user terminal 100 to receive data input, and is an interface for the user terminal 100 to output data. The input/output IF 14 may input/output data via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) or the like. The input/output IF 14 may include, for example, a physical button of the user terminal 100, a camera, a microphone, a speaker, or the like. The input/output IF 24 of the server 200 is an interface for the server 200 to receive data input, and is an interface for the server 200 to output data. The input/output IF 24 may include, for example, an input unit which is an information input device such as a mouse or a keyboard, and a display unit which is a device for displaying and outputting an image.

The touch screen 15 of the user terminal 100 is an electronic component that combines the input unit 151 and the display unit 152. The input unit 151 is, for example, a touch-sensitive device, and is configured by, for example, a touch pad. The display unit 152 is composed of, for example, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display, or the like.

The input unit 151 detects a position at which a user operation (mainly a physical contact operation such as a touch operation, a slide operation, a swipe operation, a flick operation, and a tap operation) is input on the input surface, and indicates the position information. Is provided as an input signal. The input unit 151 may include a touch sensing unit (not shown). The touch sensing unit may be of any type such as a capacitance type or a resistance film type. Note that the user terminal 100 may include the input unit 151 and the display unit 152 configured as separate devices instead of including the touch screen 15.

Although not shown, the user terminal 100 may include one or more sensors for specifying the holding posture of the user terminal 100. This sensor may be, for example, an acceleration sensor or an angular velocity sensor. When the user terminal 100 includes a sensor, the processor 10 can also specify the holding posture of the user terminal 100 from the output of the sensor and perform processing according to the holding posture. For example, the processor 10 may perform vertical screen display for displaying a vertically long image on the display unit 152 when the user terminal 100 is held vertically. On the other hand, when the user terminal 100 is held in a horizontal orientation, a landscape image may be displayed on the display unit. In this way, the processor 10 may be capable of switching between the vertical screen display and the horizontal screen display according to the holding posture of the user terminal 100.

The camera 17 includes an image sensor and the like, and converts a light incident from a lens into an electric signal to generate a captured image.

The distance measuring sensor 18 is a sensor that measures the distance to the measurement target. The distance measuring sensor 18 includes, for example, a light source that emits pulse-converted light and a light receiving element that receives the light. The distance measuring sensor 18 measures the distance to the measurement object by the light emission timing from the light source and the light reception timing of the reflected light generated by the light emitted from the light source reflected on the measurement object. The distance measuring sensor 18 may include a light source that emits light having directivity.

Here, an example in which the user terminal 100 receives the detection result of detecting the object 1010 near the user terminal 100 by using the camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 as the user's input operation will be further described. The camera 17 and the distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided, for example, on the side surface of the housing of the user terminal 100. A distance measuring sensor 18 may be provided near the camera 17. As the camera 17, for example, an infrared camera can be used. In this case, the camera 17 may be provided with a lighting device that emits infrared rays, a filter that blocks visible light, and the like. Thereby, the detection accuracy of the object based on the image captured by the camera 17 can be further improved regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors.

The processor 10 may perform, for example, one or more of the following processes (1) to (5) on the image captured by the camera 17. (1) The processor 10 specifies whether or not the user's hand is included in the captured image by performing image recognition processing on the captured image of the camera 17. The processor 10 may use, for example, a technique such as pattern matching as the analysis technique used in the above-described image recognition processing. (2) Further, the processor 10 detects the gesture of the user from the shape of the hand of the user. The processor 10 specifies the number of fingers of the user (the number of extended fingers) from the shape of the user's hand detected from the captured image, for example. The processor 10 further identifies a gesture made by the user from the identified number of fingers. For example, when the number of fingers is 5, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a “par” gesture on rock-paper-scissors. In addition, when the number of fingers is 0 (the finger is not detected), the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “goo” in rock-paper-scissors. Further, when the number of fingers is two, the processor 10 determines that the user has made a gesture of “cutting” in rock-paper-scissors. (3) The processor 10 performs image recognition processing on the image captured by the camera 17 to detect whether the user's finger is in a state where only the forefinger is raised or the user's finger makes a repulsive movement. .. (4) The processor 10 determines the object 1010 (such as the user's hand) near the user terminal 100 based on at least one of the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17 and the output value of the distance measuring sensor 18. ) And the user terminal 100 are detected. For example, the processor 10 determines whether the user's hand is near the user terminal 100 (for example, a distance less than a predetermined value) or far (for example, a predetermined value) depending on the size of the shape of the user's hand identified from the image captured by the camera 17. The above distance) is detected. If the captured image is a moving image, the processor 10 may detect whether the user's hand is approaching or moving away from the user terminal 100. (5) If it is determined that the distance between the user terminal 100 and the user's hand changes while the user's hand is detected, based on the image recognition result of the image captured by the camera 17, etc., the processor 10 recognizes that the user is shaking his hand in the shooting direction of the camera 17. When an object is not detected or detected by the distance measuring sensor 18 having a directivity stronger than the shooting range of the camera 17, the processor 10 determines that the user shakes his hand in a direction orthogonal to the shooting direction of the camera. recognize.

As described above, the processor 10 recognizes whether or not the user is holding his/her hand by the image recognition of the image captured by the camera 17 (whether the gesture is “Goo” or other gesture (for example, “Par”)). Or) is detected. The processor 10 also detects the shape of the user's hand and how the user is moving this hand. Further, the processor 10 detects whether the user is moving this hand close to or away from the user terminal 100. Such an operation can correspond to an operation using a pointing device such as a mouse or a touch panel. The user terminal 100, for example, moves the pointer on the touch screen 15 in response to the movement of the user's hand, and detects the gesture “goo” of the user. In this case, the user terminal 100 recognizes that the user is continuing the selection operation. The continuation of the selection operation corresponds to, for example, maintaining the state where the mouse is clicked and pressed, or maintaining the state where the touch panel is touched after the touchdown operation. Further, when the user further moves his or her hand while the user's gesture “goo” is detected, the user terminal 100 determines such a series of gestures as an operation corresponding to the swipe operation (or the drag operation). You can also recognize. In addition, when the user terminal 100 detects a gesture such that the user repels a finger based on the detection result of the user's hand from the image captured by the camera 17, the user terminal 100 clicks the mouse or taps the touch panel. May be recognized as an operation corresponding to.

<Functional configuration of game system 1>
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the functional configurations of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 included in the game system 1. Each of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 may include a functional configuration (not shown) necessary for functioning as a general computer and a functional configuration necessary for realizing a known function in a game.

The user terminal 100 has a function as an input device that receives a user's input operation and a function as an output device that outputs a game image or sound. The user terminal 100 functions as the control unit 110 and the storage unit 120 in cooperation with the processor 10, the memory 11, the storage 12, the communication IF 13, the input/output IF 14, and the like.

The server 200 has a function of communicating with each user terminal 100 to assist the user terminal 100 in proceeding with a game. When the game is a multi-play game, the server 200 may have a function of communicating with each user terminal 100 participating in the game and mediating the exchange between the user terminals 100. The server 200 functions as the control unit 210 and the storage unit 220 in cooperation with the processor 20, the memory 21, the storage 22, the communication IF 23, the input/output IF 24, and the like.

The storage unit 120 and the storage unit 220 store a game program, game information 132, and user information 133. The game program 131 is a game program executed by the user terminal 100. The game program 131 is a game program executed by the server 200. The game information 132 is data that the control unit 110 and the control unit 210 refer to when executing the game program. The user information 133 is data regarding a user's account. In the storage unit 220, the game information 132 and the user information 133 are stored for each user terminal 100.

(Functional configuration of the server 200)
The control unit 210 centrally controls the server 200 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 220. For example, the control unit 210 transmits various data and programs to the user terminal 100. The control unit 210 receives part or all of the game information or the user information from the user terminal 100. When the game is a multi-play game, the control unit 210 may receive a request for multi-play synchronization from the user terminal 100 and transmit data for synchronization to the user terminal 100.

The control unit 210 functions according to the description of the game program 131. The control unit 210 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to support the progress of the game on the user terminal 100, depending on the nature of the game to be executed.

For example, the control unit 210 communicates with the user terminal 100, and the user terminal 100 supports the progress of this game. The control unit 210 appropriately provides information to be referred to by the user terminal 100 at that time, for example, according to the progress of the main game on the user terminal 100.

Further, in the case of a multi-play game, the control unit 210 may communicate with each user terminal 100 and mediate the exchange between the user terminals 100. Further, the control unit 210 may execute matching of a plurality of user terminals 100 participating in the multiplayer game, synchronization control for synchronizing the progress of the multiplayer game, and the like.

(Functional configuration of the user terminal 100)
The control unit 110 centrally controls the user terminal 100 by executing the game program 131 stored in the storage unit 120. For example, the control unit 110 advances the game according to the operation of the game program 131 and the user. Further, the control unit 110 communicates with the server 200 as needed to transmit and receive information while the game is in progress.

The control unit 110 functions as the operation reception unit 111, the display control unit 112, the UI control unit 113, the animation generation unit 114, and the game progression unit 115 according to the description of the game program 131.

The control unit 110 can also function as other functional blocks (not shown) in order to progress the game depending on the nature of the game to be executed.

The operation receiving unit 111 detects and receives a user's input operation on the input unit 151. The operation reception unit 111 determines what input operation has been performed based on the user's action on the console via the touch screen 15 and the other input/output IF 14, and outputs the result to each element of the control unit 110. To do.

Specifically, when the operation accepting unit 111 detects a touch operation on the input unit 151, the operation accepting unit 111 acquires various kinds of information regarding the touch operation. For example, the operation receiving unit 111 acquires the coordinates of the touch operation position (hereinafter also referred to as the touch position). The operation accepting unit 111 may also detect touch operations on a plurality of touch positions at the input unit 151 at the same time. In this case, the operation reception unit 111 acquires the number of touch positions received at the same time. In addition, the operation reception unit 111 acquires the duration time from when the touch operation is received until the contact is released. Further, when the contact of the touch operation is released, the operation receiving unit 111 specifies the release of the contact as a touch-off operation. The information regarding the touch operation acquired by the operation receiving unit 111 is not limited to the above-described information. The operation accepting unit 111 identifies the type of touch operation based on the acquired information about the touch operation.

The type of touch operation is appropriately determined within a range that can be classified according to how the user touches the input unit 151. For example, a case will be described where the types of touch operations include a tap operation, a double tap operation, a long press operation, a flick operation, a swipe operation, a drag operation (also referred to as “slide operation”), a pinch out operation, a pinch in operation, and the like.

The tap operation is a short-time touch operation that does not move the touch position. A short time is a duration that is less than the threshold. The double tap operation is a plurality of consecutive tap operations (for example, twice) within a predetermined interval. The long-press operation is an operation of continuing the touch for a predetermined time or longer without moving the touch position. The flick operation is an operation of moving the touch position from the start point to the end point at a predetermined speed or higher. The flick operation may be determined as “flick operation” by moving the touch position at a predetermined speed or higher, or “flick operation” by detecting touch-off after moving the touch position at a predetermined speed or higher. May be determined to be The swipe operation is an operation of moving the touch position from the start point to the end point at a speed lower than the predetermined speed and touching off. The drag operation is an operation of moving the touch position while continuing the touch operation from the start point to the end point. The drag operation does not necessarily have to involve touch-off. In the pinch-in operation (or pinch-out operation), the first touch position and the second touch position are moved so that the distance between the first touch position and the second touch position is narrowed (or widened) while the touch operation is continued. It is an operation.

The UI control unit 113 controls a UI object displayed on the display unit 152 to construct a UI. The UI object is a tool for the user to input to the user terminal 100 necessary for the progress of the game, or a tool for obtaining information output during the progress of the game from the user terminal 100. The UI object is, for example, but not limited to, an icon, a button, a list, a menu screen, or the like.

The animation generation unit 114 generates animations showing the motions of various objects based on the control modes of various objects. Specifically, the animation generation unit 114 may generate an animation or the like that represents a state in which the second object is affected (for example, a state in which an enemy character is damaged by an attack).

The display control unit 112 outputs, to the display unit 152 of the touch screen 15, a game screen in which the processing result executed by each of the above-described elements is reflected. For example, the display control unit 112 causes the display unit 152 to display an operation character that can be operated by the user. Further, the display control unit 112 may display a game screen including the animation generated by the animation generation unit 114 on the display unit 152. Further, the display control unit 112 may superimpose and draw the above-mentioned UI object on the game screen.

It should be noted that in the following description, that the operation accepting unit 111 detects and accepts an input operation to the input unit 151 is also referred to as simply accepting the input operation. It is also described that other functional blocks simply output that various game screens are output to the display unit 152 by the display control unit 112.

The game progression unit 115 executes various game processes for advancing the game by causing the operation character arranged in the game space to battle with the enemy character.

<Game details>
The game progression unit 115 advances the game by referring to the game information 132 stored in the storage unit 120. The storage unit 120 stores, as the game information 132, information about a character associated with the user, information about a character selected as an operation character among them, information about parameters of each character, information indicating the progress status of a play unit, and play. Information indicating the achievement status of the task according to the unit is stored. The details of the game progressed by the game progression unit 115 will be described below.

The game progression unit 115 performs a game process in which the first object is the attack target and the second object is damaged. The first object is, for example, an operation character. The second object may be any object that can be the target of attack, and is, for example, an object that obstructs the movement of the enemy character or the operating character. The game process in which the enemy character is damaged by the attack of the operation character is performed, for example, in a battle part described later.

(Details of the battle part)
The present game includes a battle part that advances by causing the operating character to battle with an enemy character in a battle space, which is one of the game spaces, by a user operation. In the battle part, the operation character may progress in the battle space by causing the operating character to battle with the enemy character together with other characters. In addition, there may be a mode in which a battle is automatically advanced or the outcome of the battle is automatically determined without depending on the user operation. In addition, a game space where no battle is performed may be provided. Examples of such game spaces include, but are not limited to, grasslands, towns, castles, schools, and the like. Further, the battle space or the game space in which the battle is not performed is not limited to one type, and a plurality of types may be provided. For example, there may be another battle space for fighting a plurality of characters including the operation character and the enemy character. Further, the plurality of game spaces may be switchable with each other in response to a user operation.

Specifically, the battle space and the space where battle is not performed may be switchable. In that case, for example, when the condition for starting the battle is satisfied in the space where the battle is not performed, the space is switched to the battle space. Further, there may be a plurality of types of battle spaces, and these may be switchable. For example, when the game is proceeding in the first battle space and the condition for starting the battle in the second battle space is satisfied, the game is switched to the second battle space. The battle start condition may be, for example, encounter with a specific enemy, arrival at a specific location, or the like, but is not limited thereto.

In addition, each of the operation character and the enemy character may have a parameter (hereinafter, also referred to as a physical strength value) that is reduced by an attack from the opponent. In this case, the operating character may be determined to lose when the physical strength value of the operating character falls below a threshold value, and to win if the physical strength value of the enemy character falls below the threshold value. The information indicating the physical strength value may be displayed on the game screen during the battle, and the display content may be updated according to the update of the physical strength value. Further, the physical strength value of the operating character at the start of the battle may be variable according to various conditions or may be fixed. When it can change, for example, the physical strength value at the start of battle may be a value according to the type of the operating character, or a value according to a parameter such as a level of the operating character.

Both the operation character and the enemy character may have a plurality of types of attack forms. The attack mode of the operation character can be appropriately determined within a range selectable by the user's operation. In this game, the attack form of the operating character includes normal attack, combo attack, skill attack, and counter attack. The attack mode of the enemy character includes a normal attack and a special attack.

Regarding the operation character, the normal attack is an attack by using a weapon possessed by the operation character by a normal method, and is executed by a tap operation. The combo attack is an attack in which a normal attack is performed in multiple stages, and is performed by continuously performing a tap operation multiple times. In the combo attack, the normal attack is performed in a plurality of stages, but the attack in the plurality of stages in the combo attack may be an attack that has a different action and a different effect from the normal attack. The skill attack is a special attack that is individually set for the operating character, and is executed by a continuous touch operation such as a long press operation and a slide operation, a swipe operation, or a flick operation on the skill UI displayed by the long press operation. It The counter attack will be described later.

(About counter attack)
In the present embodiment, the user can use the third object to attack the enemy character that has attacked the operating character. An attack using the third object in this way is called a counter attack. In the present embodiment, it is possible to carry out a counter attack against the special attack of the enemy character.

The third object is an object for attacking an enemy character. The third object is arranged in the same game space as the operation character and the enemy character in response to the user's operation. Various objects can be adopted as the third object, but it is preferable that the object reminds that an attack is executed when a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this embodiment, the third object is a bomb-like object and is called a bomb.

With respect to the enemy character, the normal attack is an attack by using a weapon possessed by the enemy character in a normal method. The special attack is a powerful attack that is activated by a different action from the normal attack. Special attacks are more powerful than regular attacks and are therefore more restricted than regular attacks. In this game, the special attack of the enemy character is accompanied by the preparatory action up to the attack and the display of the attack timing.

In the present embodiment, the attacking action of the normal attack by the operating character is executed on the enemy character whose arrangement relationship with the operating character satisfies a predetermined condition. The enemy character whose arrangement relationship with the operation character satisfies the predetermined condition may be, for example, an enemy character whose distance from the operation character is a threshold value or less, an enemy character arranged in a predetermined range in the direction of the operation character, or the like. However, it is not limited to these.

In addition, in the present game, the operation character may include a joint battle part for fighting with the enemy character together with other characters. The other character may be, for example, a character (hereinafter, also referred to as NPC: non player character) operated by the game program 131 without being operated by the user. Further, the other character may be another operation character operated by another user of the other user terminal 100. In this case, it may be determined that the player character will be defeated if the physical strength values of a part or all of the operation character and the other character fall below a threshold value.

When the other character is another operation character operated by another user, the server 200 may group a plurality of operation characters for fighting an enemy character. In this case, the battle space is shared by the user terminals 100 that operate each of the plurality of operation characters. In the shared battle space, a plurality of grouped operation characters and enemy characters are arranged. The plurality of grouped operation characters become friends and fight together against the enemy character.

Note that the server 200 may determine the maximum number of user terminals 100 that share a battle space, that is, the maximum number of teammate characters. In addition, in the shared battle space, operation characters or NPCs are arranged according to the maximum number of teammate characters. For example, when the number of teammate characters is less than the maximum number, NPCs may be arranged by the number short of the maximum number.

In addition, the operation character can execute various actions for acting on the enemy character in response to the user operation. For example, the action that can be performed by the operating character may be determined according to the type of the operating character, the parameters of the operating character, and the like. In addition, the action that can be performed by the operation character may include an attack that damages the enemy character, a defense against an attack from the enemy character, a movement to avoid the attack, and a recovery. Not limited to The movement for avoiding an attack may include movements with different movement speeds. For example, it may be necessary to avoid moving at a higher moving speed.

Further, the determination as to whether or not to be attacked by the enemy character may be different depending on the mode of movement. For example, when the movement speed is slower than avoidance, the attack is determined to be effective when the operation character enters the range where the attack action of the enemy character is effective, but in the case of avoidance, the operation character enters the range. However, the attack may be determined to be invalid. Also, the manner in which the operating character executes these actions in the battle space is generated by the animation generation unit 114 and displayed on the game screen.

The enemy character may be a character operated by the game program 131 without being operated by the user. Further, the enemy character may be an operation character operated by a user of another user terminal 100. The enemy character can execute various actions for affecting the operation character. For example, the actions that the enemy character can perform may be determined according to the type of the enemy character, the parameters of the enemy character, and the like. Further, the actions that the enemy character can perform may include types such as an attack on the operation character, defense against an attack from the operation character, avoidance, and movement.

Further, in the battle part, one or more play units in which the tasks achievable by the user operation are set may be provided. An example of the task is that the operating character wins over the enemy character in the battle space, but is not limited thereto. Also, a game space may be provided according to the unit of play. Further, when the task is achieved by playing the play unit, a game process advantageous for the user may be executed.

The game process advantageous to the user may be a process of giving the user an item that can be used in the game and is advantageous to the user, a process of increasing the probability of being given, and the like. Note that, as an example of an item that is advantageous to the user, an item that can advantageously advance the game can be cited, but is not limited to this. Further, the game process advantageous to the user may be a process of changing the display form of the display element on the game screen to one having a higher visual effect. In addition, the game process that is advantageous to the user may be a process that more advantageously changes the parameters associated with the user, the parameters of the character associated with the user, and the like. However, the game process that is advantageous to the user may be any game process that enhances user satisfaction, and is not limited to the example described above.

Here, it is assumed that the operating character is arranged in the battle space so that its direction can be specified. If the operation character is a character imitating a creature such as a human being, the orientation may be the direction in which the face of the operation character faces. The orientation of the operating character may affect the direction in which the action performed by the operating character causes the action, the moving direction of the operating character, or the like. For example, the attack action of the operation character may act on the enemy character arranged in front of the operation character. Further, the orientation of the operation character may affect the operability using the operation character. For example, the game process to be executed may be determined according to the relationship between the moving direction of the touch position in the slide operation and the direction of the operating character.

Further, the front side and the back side of the operation character are determined according to the direction of the operation character. The front side of the operation character may be, for example, an area included in a range up to a predetermined angle on one side or both sides of the direction in which the operation character faces. Further, the back side of the operation character may be, for example, an area included in a range up to a predetermined angle on one side or both sides with respect to the direction opposite to the direction in which the operation character is facing.

(Attack notice display)
The game program 131 displays the attack timing of the enemy character targeting the operation character. The attack of the enemy character to be foretold is not limited, and may be, for example, all attacks of the enemy character or only special attacks. Further, it may be only an attack on the operation character, or an attack including a character other than the operation character as an attack target.

The display of the timing of the attack may clearly indicate the time when the attack of the enemy character is activated, or may display that the enemy character is in the ready state for the attack. The former can be displayed by further displaying a gauge-like object or by blinking the enemy character a predetermined number of times. In this case, the time when the gauge is filled, or the time when the blinking ends a predetermined number of times can be set as the attack start time of the enemy character. In addition, the latter is possible by a display that urges the user to pay special attention to the enemy character, such as illuminating the enemy character or pointing with another object such as an arrow.

The attack notice of the enemy character may be accompanied by the display of the attack range. In this case, the user can confirm the range covered by the attack of the enemy character in advance, so that the attack can be more reliably avoided. The method of displaying the attack range is not limited. The attack range can be displayed, for example, by making the above-mentioned gauge-like plane shape into the shape of the attack range, or by further displaying another object that specifies the attack range.

(Details of the selected part)
In addition, the present game may include a selection part in which game data selection processing is performed. In the selection part, any of the game data available in the game is selected based on a predetermined rule, and the selected game data is stored in the storage unit 120 in association with the user. The selection process based on the predetermined rule may be, for example, a lottery process based on the winning probability set for the game data to be selected, or may be a selection process based on the priority set on the game data. However, it is not limited to these. The selection process based on the predetermined rule is also referred to as a first selection process hereinafter. Here, it is assumed that the first selection process is a lottery based on the winning probability set for each game data.

Examples of the game data include a character that can be selected as an operation character, an item that can be used in association with the operation character, a play unit in which a task is set, and story data for browsing in which a character that can be used in the game appears. However, the present invention is not limited to these. The rarity level, the difficulty level, etc. may be set in these game data. Further, the higher the rarity level or the higher the difficulty level, the lower the expected value to be selected (for example, the lower the winning probability in the lottery) may be set. A plurality of types of game data sets that can be selected in the first selection process may be provided.

For example, the first selection process may be executed by a billing process for the user, or may be executed by consuming valuable data given to the user by the billing process. Further, the right data representing the right to execute the first selection process may be stored in the storage unit 120 in the form of a ticket, a capsule, or the like in association with the user. However, the form representing the right data is not limited to these. Further, the first selection process may be executed when a predetermined execution condition is satisfied in the game. The predetermined execution condition may be, for example, activating a game, ending a play unit, or achieving a task, but is not limited thereto.

Further, the second selection process for determining the right data to be consumed among the right data associated with the user may be executed based on a predetermined rule. The second selection process may be performed by a billing process for the user, or may be performed by consuming valuable data given to the user by the billing process. Further, the second selection process may be executed when a predetermined execution condition is satisfied in the game.

(Details of organization part)
Further, the present game may include a knitting part for knitting a deck composed of a plurality of characters. The deck is composed of, for example, a plurality of characters used in the battle part. Characters that can be included in the deck include characters stored in the storage unit 120 in association with the user. However, the deck may include characters that are not associated with the user. Further, the character that can be included in the deck may be another operation character operated by another user of another user terminal 100. Also, the upper limit number of characters that make up the deck may be set. In this case, it may be possible to use less than the maximum number of decks in the battle part, or NPCs or the like may be used to supplement the number of characters insufficient for the maximum number. Further, a predetermined rule may be set for the combination of characters that can be included in the deck. The predetermined rule may be, for example, a combination of characters having different attributes.

Further, in the deck organization, each constituent element (character) included in the deck may be selected based on a user operation, or may be selected by a computer. The selection by the computer may be performed based on, for example, the condition specified by the user. For example, if a condition that a predetermined parameter (eg, attack power, defense power, physical strength, etc.) is the highest is specified, the components are selected by the computer, and the deck is organized. Good.

The functions of the server 200 and the user terminal 100 shown in FIG. 2 are merely examples. The server 200 may include at least a part of the functions of the user terminal 100. In addition, the user terminal 100 may include at least a part of the functions included in the server 200. Further, a device other than the user terminal 100 and the server 200 may be a constituent element of the game system 1, and the other device may be caused to execute a part of the processing in the game system 1. That is, the computer that executes the game program in the present embodiment may be any of the user terminal 100, the server 200, and another device, or may be realized by a combination of these plural devices.

<Outline of processing>
In the present embodiment, the user terminal 100 performs the following steps that enable the user to perform an operation that can effectively damage the enemy character in accordance with the attack motion of the enemy character that targets the operation character as a game. It is configured to execute based on the program 131. Specifically, the user terminal 100 arranges a bomb in response to the user's operation in accordance with the timing of the special attack of the enemy character, and responds to the fact that the attack condition of the counter attack by the bomb is satisfied, The bomb is configured to counter-attack the enemy character with the amount of damage according to the length of time of the arrangement. In the present embodiment, the special attack of the enemy character is a rush, and the target of the attack causes a great deal of damage at the time of collision with the enemy character.

The flowchart of FIG. 3 shows an example of the flow of processing executed in the game system according to the present embodiment. The process is the above-described counter attack process. In step S301 of FIG. 3, the control unit 110 executes a first process of displaying the timing and range of attack of the enemy character. In step S302, the control unit 110 arranges a bomb according to a user's operation, and calculates a damage amount according to the positional relationship between the bomb and the operation character and the length of time elapsed after the bomb is arranged. 2 Execute the process. In step S303, the control unit 110 executes a third process for executing a bomb counter attack on the enemy character in response to the bomb attack condition. Therefore, the enemy character can be effectively attacked, and the fun of the game in the action game is enhanced. Hereinafter, each of the first processing to the third processing will be described in more detail.

[First processing]
As described above, the first process is a process of displaying the timing and range of attack of the enemy character. The first process is executed by, for example, the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4, and can be displayed mainly on the game screen shown in FIG. 9. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing for displaying the timing of an enemy character's attack in this embodiment. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displaying the timing of the attack of the enemy character in the present embodiment.

In FIG. 9, the game screen G1 includes an operation character 910, an enemy character 920 facing the operation character 910, a gauge area 930 extending from the position of the enemy character 920 toward the operation character 910, and an enemy in the gauge area 930. The color change area 940 that expands from the character 920 side is included.

In step S401 of FIG. 4, the display control unit 112 displays the gauge area 930. The gauge area 930 is an object indicating a range in which a special attack (rush) of the enemy character 920 is performed.

The gauge area 930 may be always displayed, but is normally displayed in response to the enemy character 920 satisfying a condition for executing a special attack. The condition for executing the special attack may be that the operation character 910 has entered the target position of the special attack, or regularly or randomly from various actions of the enemy character 920 including execution of the special attack. The action selected for may be a special attack. In this embodiment, the display control unit 112 displays the gauge area 930 when the enemy character 920 makes a special attack.

The gauge region 930 has a slender rectangular planar shape as a whole, and is configured by an array of rectangular blocks forming a gauge. The gauge area 930 represents the range of the special attack. In this way, the display control unit 112 displays the range covered by the attack of the enemy character 920. Therefore, the user can easily visually recognize the range covered by the special attack of the enemy character. Since the gauge area 930 targets the operation character 910 for a special attack, the gauge area 930 is arranged in the game space so that the operation character 910 is located in the gauge area 930.

Further, the display control unit 112 may further display the enemy character 920 by making it illuminate in response to the condition for executing the special attack being satisfied. Since the display control unit 112 concurrently displays different enemy characters, the user can more easily visually recognize that the enemy character 920 is preparing for a special attack.

The display control unit 112 starts displaying the color change area 940 in response to the condition for executing the special attack being satisfied. The display of the color change area 940 will be described in detail later.

In step S402, the game progression unit 115 starts measuring the elapsed time t1. The elapsed time t1 is the elapsed time from when the condition for executing the special attack is satisfied. The game progression unit 115 starts measuring the elapsed time t1 in response to satisfying the condition for executing the special attack.

In step S403, the display control unit 112 displays the color change area 940 in the gauge area 930 according to the elapsed time t1.

The color change area 940 is an object that indicates the timing at which the special attack of the enemy character 920 is activated. The color change area 940 may be visible to the gauge area 930, and is, for example, a portion darker than the gauge area 930.

The color change area 940 fills the rectangular blocks in the gauge area 930 in order from the enemy character 920 side at a constant speed. When the color changing area 940 fills the rectangular block farthest from the enemy character 920 in the gauge area 930, the enemy character 920 performs a special attack (rush). Therefore, the user can know the range of the special attack by the gauge area 930, and can predict the time until the special attack is executed by the progress of the color change area 940, that is, the timing of the execution of the special attack. In this way, the display control unit 112 displays the timing of the special attack of the enemy character 920 targeting the operation character 910.

[Second processing]
As described above, the second process is a process of arranging a bomb according to a user's operation, and calculating a damage amount according to a positional relationship between the bomb and the operating character and an elapsed time after the bomb is arranged. .. The second process is executed by, for example, the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, and can be displayed mainly on the game screens shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing until a bomb is placed and the amount of damage given to an enemy character is calculated in response to a user operation in the present embodiment. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displaying the bombs arranged in this embodiment. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a screen that displays changes over time of the bombs arranged in this embodiment.

10, the game screen G2 is the same as the game screen G1 of FIG. 9 except that the game screen G2 further includes a bomb 950 arranged immediately in front of the operation character 910, and the color change area 940 is further expanded. Further, in FIG. 11, the game screen G3 is the same as the game screen G2 of FIG. 10 except that the bomb 950 is displayed in a larger size and the color change area 940 is further expanded.

In the second process, in response to the user's first operation, control unit 110 arranges bomb 950 for attacking enemy character 920 in the same game space as operation character 910 and enemy character 920. The first operation for arranging the bomb may be set appropriately, and examples thereof include a long-pressing operation. In this embodiment, in step S501, the operation reception unit 111 determines whether or not a long press operation by the user is detected. When the long press operation is determined, in step S502, the game progression unit 115 places the bomb 950 immediately in front of the operation character 910, and the display control unit 112 displays the bomb 950 as such on the game screen G2. When the operation reception unit 111 does not determine the long-press operation after the first process, the control unit 110 ends the process for counter attack.

In this way, the game progression unit 115 arranges the bomb 950 in the game space in response to the long press operation being accepted in step S502 while displaying the gauge area 930 and the color change area 940 in the first process. To do. The user can execute a counter attack by the bomb as a countermeasure against the special attack of the enemy character.

In step S503, the game progression unit 115 starts measuring the elapsed time t2. The elapsed time t2 is the elapsed time from the time when the long press operation is accepted in step S501. In this way, the game progression unit 115 starts measuring the elapsed time t2 in response to the determination of the long press operation in the operation reception unit 111.

In step S504, the operation reception unit 111 determines whether a slide operation by the user has been detected. When the slide operation is detected, in step S505, the game progression unit 115 moves the operation character 910 in response to the slide operation, and the display control unit 112 displays the operation character 910 as such on the game screen G2. indicate. When the operation reception unit 111 does not determine the slide operation in step S505, the control unit 110 advances the processing to step S506.

In the determination of the slide operation, in order to prevent the determination due to the user's erroneous operation, the slide operation is performed in response to the condition that the movement distance of the touch position in the user's slide operation exceeds a predetermined threshold value. Execution may be determined.

In step S506, the game progression unit 115 determines whether the distance from the operation character 910 to the bomb 950 in the game space is less than the threshold value D1.

If the distance is less than the threshold value D1 in step S506, the game progression unit 115 continues to measure the elapsed time t2 in step S507.

Further, in the second process, the game progression unit 115 causes the enemy to be bombed by the bomb 950 according to the length of the time t2 in which the distance between the position of the bomb 950 arranged in step S502 and the operation character 910 is the threshold D1 or less. The amount of damage given to the character 920 is updated.

In step S508, the game progression unit 115 updates and displays the damage amount according to the measured value of the elapsed time t2. The damage amount is the amount of damage given to the enemy character 920 when the bomb 950 counterattacks the enemy character 920. The display control unit 112 may display that the damage amount is updated according to the elapsed time t2. For example, in such a display, the bomb 950 may be increased in size as the damage amount increases, the bomb 950 that is being updated may be displayed in a shining state, or the damage amount may increase. The bomb 950 may be illuminated and displayed so as to increase the brightness. In addition, when the damage amount is not sequentially displayed, the process of step S508 may not be executed.

When the distance from the operation character 910 to the bomb 950 is equal to or greater than the threshold value D1 in step S506, the control unit 110 advances the game processing to step S604 in the flowchart of FIG. 6 described later.

[First Embodiment in Third Processing]
As described above, the third process is a process of determining the amount of damage and executing the counter attack of the bomb against the enemy character in response to the attack condition of the bomb. As a third process, the control unit 110 executes a bomb attack action capable of inflicting the determined amount of damage to the enemy character in response to the satisfaction of a predetermined condition for performing the counter attack by the bomb. To do. The third processing can take various forms. For example, the third process is executed by the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 6, and may be displayed mainly on the game screen shown in FIG.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing in which the bomb attacks the enemy character on condition that the enemy character contacts the bomb in the present embodiment. That is, in this embodiment in the third processing, the bomb attack action is executed in response to the satisfaction of the condition that the enemy character has executed the special attack in accordance with the above-described display timing.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displaying an attack on the enemy character by the bomb in the present embodiment. In FIG. 12, the game screen G4 includes an operation character 910 that has moved to a position away from the bomb 950, an enemy character 920 that rushes and collides with the bomb 950, and an explosive bomb 950.

In step S601, the game progression unit 115 measures the elapsed time t1 until the elapsed time t1 reaches the threshold value T1. The threshold value T1 is a value for determining when the enemy character 920 starts a special attack. The display control unit 112 displays the color changing area 940 so as to spread from the enemy character 920 side so that the gauge area 930 has an area corresponding to the ratio of the elapsed time t1 to the threshold value T1. The color change area 940 extends over the entire gauge area 930 when the elapsed time t1 reaches the threshold value T1.

In step S602, the game progression unit 115 activates a special attack on the enemy character 920. The enemy character 920 rushes through the portion where the gauge area 930 was formed as a special attack. The display control unit 112 may stop the display of the gauge area 930 and the color change area 940 in response to the elapsed time t1 reaching the threshold value T1.

In step S603, the game progression unit 115 determines whether the enemy character 920 has collided with the bomb 950. When the collision occurs in step S603, the game progression unit 115 ends the measurement of the elapsed time t2 in step S604. In this way, the game progression unit 115 ends the measurement of the elapsed time t2 in response to satisfying the condition that the special attack of the enemy character 920 and the bomb 950 contact each other in the game space.

In step S605, the game progression unit 115 determines the amount of damage A1 given to the enemy character 920 according to the elapsed time t2. The damage amount A1 is a damage amount determined according to the elapsed time t2 from the time when the bomb 950 is placed.

In step S606, the game progression unit 115 causes the bomb 950 to perform an attack operation (explosion), and imparts the determined damage amount A1 to the enemy character 920.

On the other hand, as described above, in step S506 in the flowchart of FIG. 5, if the distance of the operated character to the bomb is equal to or greater than the threshold value D1, steps S604 to S606 are executed. Therefore, when the user separates the operation character 910 from the bomb 950 at an arbitrary timing until the bomb 950 explodes, the elapsed time t2 is measured and the damage amount A1 is determined, while the operation character 910 moves to the bomb 950. You can prevent damage from the explosion.

According to the present embodiment in the third processing, the earlier the user's operation for the advance notice of the special attack of the enemy character 920, that is, the display of the gauge area 930 and the color changing area 940, is given to the enemy character by the counter attack by the bomb. The greater the amount of damage done to the user, the greater the return to the user.

In addition, the amount of damage to the enemy character 920 can be adjusted until just before the special attack of the enemy character 920 reaches the operation character 910 and the bomb 950. Therefore, as the risk of the special attack of the enemy character 920 reaching the operation character 910 increases, the effect of the counter attack by the bomb 950 on the enemy character 920 can be enhanced.

[Second Embodiment in Third Processing]
Conditions other than the contact between the enemy character and the bomb can be applied to the counter attack by the bomb on the enemy character in the third processing. For example, the third process may be applied on condition that the operating character has left the bomb. Such a third process can be executed by the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7, for example.

In the present embodiment, the process of moving the operating character by the slide operation is also referred to as a moving process, and the process of moving the operating character by the flick operation is also referred to as an avoiding process. The avoidance process is a process in which the moving speed of the operation character is faster than the moving process. In the avoidance process, the animation generation unit 114 may generate an animation indicating that the moving speed is faster than in the moving process. For example, the animation generating unit 114 may generate an animation such as an operation character walking in the moving process, and may generate an animation such as running or jumping the operation character in the avoidance process.

The avoidance process may be any process that causes the operating character to perform an action of avoiding an attack from the enemy character, and may be a process other than the fast moving action. For example, the avoidance process may be a process of making the operation character an invincible state in which the attack of the enemy character can be nullified while the operation character is moving. In this case, the animation generation unit 114 may generate, for example, an animation in which the operation character is covered with a barrier that nullifies the attack from the enemy character.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing in which the bomb attacks the enemy character on condition that the operating character leaves the bomb in the present embodiment.

In step S701 of FIG. 7, the game progression unit 115 determines whether the elapsed time t1 is less than the threshold T1.

When the elapsed time t1 is less than the threshold value T1 in step S701, the operation reception unit 111 determines in step S702 whether a slide operation or a flick operation is detected.

When the operation is detected in step S702, the operation character is moved in response to the detected operation in step S703. In this way, the control unit 110 executes the moving process or the avoiding process of the operation character in response to the operation of the user. When the operation is not detected in step S702, control unit 110 returns the process to step S701.

In step S704, the game progression unit 115 determines whether the distance from the operation character 910 to the bomb 950 is less than the threshold value D2. The threshold value D2 is a value that is a condition for activating the attack (explosion) of the bomb 950. The threshold value D2 is a value representing a distance such that the explosion of the bomb 950 does not substantially reach the operation character 910, and is, for example, a distance that the operation character 910 moves by one flick operation. The threshold value D2 may be a user's operation amount corresponding to the distance, and in step S704, whether or not the operation amount (touch position moving distance) by the user in step S702 is less than a threshold value D2′ corresponding to the threshold value D2. It may be a process of determining whether or not.

If the distance is equal to or greater than the threshold value D2 in step S704, the game progression unit 115 ends the measurement of the elapsed time t2 in step S705. If the distance is less than the threshold value D2 in step S704, the control unit 110 returns the process to step S701.

In step S706, the game progression unit 115 determines the damage amount A1 according to the elapsed time t2.

In step S707, the game progression unit 115 gives the enemy character the damage amount A1 determined by executing the bomb attack action.

According to this embodiment of the third processing, the control unit 110 sets the condition that the distance in the game space between the position of the operation character 910 and the position of the bomb 950 by the above avoidance processing or movement processing is equal to or greater than the threshold value D2. In response to the satisfaction, a counter attack by the bomb 950 is executed. In the present embodiment as well, similar to the above-described first embodiment, the faster the user's operation for the action of the enemy character 920, the greater the return to the user. Further, the user can further reduce the risk of the attack affecting the operation character 910 against both the special attack of the enemy character 920 and the counter attack of the bomb 950. Therefore, it is possible to achieve both the amount of damage given to the enemy character 920 and the safety of the operation character 910.

If the elapsed time t1 is greater than or equal to the threshold T1 in step S708, the game progress unit 115 determines in step S708 whether the enemy character 920 has collided with the bomb 950.

When it is determined in step S708 that there is a collision, in step S709, the game progression unit 115 ends the measurement of the elapsed time t2. If it is not determined to be a collision in step S708, the control unit 110 advances the processing to step S702.

In step S710, the game progression unit 115 determines the damage amount A2 according to the elapsed time t2 when the measurement is completed.

In step S711, the game progression unit 115 gives the damage amount A2 determined by executing the attack motion of the bomb 950 to both the enemy character 920 and the operation character 910.

When the special attack of the enemy character 920 collides with the bomb 950, the measurement of the elapsed time t2 is determined to be the latest time, and instead of being able to give the damage amount A2 to the enemy character 920 accordingly, the operation character 910 also receives the same damage. .. For example, when the defense power of the operation character 910 is sufficiently high, or when it is assumed that the enemy character 920 and the operation character 910 are offset, the amount of damage given to the enemy character 920 in the game play of the user is further increased. In order to increase the size, it is possible to select an option not to move the operation character 910.

In this embodiment, the user's operation for executing the avoidance process may be limited to the flick operation. In this case, the avoidance process of the operation character 910 can be executed by a simple and quick operation by the user. With such a simple operation, it is possible to adjust the damage amount of the enemy character 920 until immediately before the avoidance action of the operation character 910, and the strategy of the game is further enhanced.

[Third Embodiment in Third Processing]
For the bomb attack on the enemy character in the third process, it is possible to apply conditions other than the contact between the enemy character and the bomb, or the fact that the operating character has left the bomb. For example, the third process may be applied under the condition that a bomb attack is activated at a set time in response to a user operation. Such a third process can be executed by, for example, the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing in which the bomb attacks the enemy character according to the time set in the bomb in the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the bomb 950 has an attack range set. The attack range is a range covered by the attack when the bomb 950 is attacked. When the bomb 950 attacks, the enemy character 920 within the attack range is given the damage amount A1 determined according to the elapsed time t2.

In step S801 of FIG. 8, the display control unit 112 displays the user interface (UI) of the estimated time. The expected time UI is a UI indicating candidates for the time from when the user's third operation is received until the bomb 950 activates an attack. The third operation is, for example, a user's touch operation on the UI, and may be a tap operation or a slide operation. For example, a plurality of expected time UIs are displayed, each displaying a predetermined time such as "1 second", "2 seconds", "3 seconds".

In step S<b>802, the game progression unit 115 determines the expected time t<b>3 corresponding to the UI of the expected time touched by the user in response to the tap operation of the user accepted by the operation accepting unit 111 for touching the UI of the expected time. .. For example, when the user touches the UI of the estimated time displayed as “2 seconds”, the game progression unit 115 determines the estimated time t3 as “2 seconds”. In this way, the control unit 110 executes processing for setting the time from when the tap operation is accepted to when the bomb 950 executes the attack action.

In step S803, the game progression unit 115 measures the elapsed time t4 from the tap operation. In addition, in step S804, the game progression unit 115 continues to measure the elapsed time t2.

In step S805, the game progression unit 115 determines whether the elapsed time t4 has reached the estimated time t3. If not reached, the game progression unit 115 repeats the process of step S805.

When the elapsed time t4 has reached the expected time t3 in step S805, the game progression unit 115 determines in step S806 whether or not the enemy character 920 has reached the attack range of the bomb 950.

When the enemy character 920 has reached the attack range in step S806, the game progression unit 115 determines the amount of damage A1 to be given to the enemy character 920 according to the elapsed time t2. In step S<b>808, the game progression unit 115 causes the bomb 950 to perform an attack action and imparts the damage amount A<b>1 to the enemy character 920.

When the enemy character 920 has not reached the attack range in step S806, the game progression unit 115 causes a bomb attack action in step S809. The effect of the bomb attack in step S809 is not limited. For example, even if the bomb attacks in step S809, the enemy character 920 may not be damaged. Further, the damage amount caused by the bomb attack in step S809 may be corrected according to the distance between the bomb and the enemy character, and the corrected damage amount may be given to the enemy character 920.

In the present embodiment, various modes can be adopted when the special attack of the enemy character 920 reaches the bomb 950 before the elapsed time t4 reaches the expected time t3. For example, a predetermined amount of damage may be given to the enemy character 920 in response to the enemy character 920 contacting the bomb 950.

Alternatively, the attack action of the bomb 950 may be executed in response to the elapsed time t4 reaching the expected time t3 regardless of the contact. In this case, the amount of damage given to the enemy character 920 may be determined depending on whether or not the enemy character 920 is within the attack range described above. For example, when the enemy character 920 is outside the attack range, the enemy character 920 may not be damaged by the bomb 950 attack.

Further, when the special attack of the enemy character 920 reaches the bomb 950 before the elapsed time t4 reaches the expected time t3, the damage caused by the attack of the bomb 950 is given to the operation character 910 as well as the enemy character 920. Alternatively, in addition to the damage caused by the bomb 950 attack, the damage caused by the special attack of the enemy character 920 may be given to the operation character 910.

In the present embodiment, if the predicted time t3 is accurate, an attack by the bomb 950 is performed on the operation character 910 and the enemy character 920 approaching the bomb 950 to perform a special attack on the operation character. Therefore, the bomb 950's l attack becomes a powerful counter attack. Also in the present embodiment, as in the first or second embodiment described above, the earlier the user's operation for the action of the enemy character 920, the determination of the expected time in the present embodiment, the earlier the return to the user. Get bigger. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the fun of predicting the time until the bomb 950 starts attacking the enemy character 920 is added, and the fun of the game is further enhanced.

[Modification]
In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of bombs 950 may be arranged. A plurality of bombs 950 may be arranged for one enemy character 920, or one or more bombs 950 may be arranged for each of the plurality of enemy characters 920.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the attack on the enemy character using the bomb is not limited to the counter attack. For example, the bomb may be placed at an arbitrary position away from the operation character. In this case, the operation character may be caused to perform a motion of throwing a bomb. Then, the damage amount may be determined according to the fact that the positional relationship between the position of the bomb and the operation character is substantially maintained. In this case, the user can use the bomb to perform a powerful attack according to the length of time for which the operating character stays on the spot at an arbitrary position and timing. Therefore, bomb attacks can be executed in various situations, such as an ambush attack of an enemy character and a simultaneous attack on a plurality of enemy characters, which further enhances the strategic nature of the game.

Although the attack mode of the bomb 950 is an explosion in all directions, the third object may be an object of a type that damages only one or both of the upper side and the front side instead of the bomb 950. For example, an object such as a volcano may be used, and a pillar of fire may be blown upward during an attack, and the enemy pillar 920 may be attacked by contacting the pillar of fire or a part thereof with the enemy character 920. In this case, the operation character 910 is not affected by the counter attack of the third object.

Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the operation character 910 may be further subjected to a process of not accepting damage caused by the explosion of the bomb 950. In this case, for example, in response to satisfying the attack activation (explosion) condition of the bomb 950, the animation generation unit 114 creates an animation in which the operation character 910 is covered with a barrier that is effective only against the attack of the bomb 950. It may be generated and the display control unit 112 may display such an animation.

Furthermore, the special attack of the enemy character 920 is not limited to rush. For example, the enemy character 920 may be an object capable of attacking the operation character 910 from a position far away from the operation space 910 where the attack does not directly reach the operation character 910. In this case, the third object may be the above-mentioned volcano-like object, or may be an object reminiscent of firing a bullet like a battery. Then, the attack mode of the third object in this case may be a mode in which, for example, a fireball or bullet is fired upward from the third object and the fireball or the like is parabolicly hit to hit the enemy character 920.

The above-described first to third embodiments of the third processing may be applied alone or in combination of two or more in the present invention as far as practicable.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as the elapsed time t2 after the bomb 950 is placed is longer, a specific game process more advantageous for the user may be executed in addition to the determination of the damage amount according to the elapsed time t2. Good. The game process that is advantageous to the user may be a process of increasing the effect on the enemy character (a decrease amount or a decrease rate of the physical strength value is large) or a process of increasing the reward that can be acquired. Examples of the reward include game objects such as items and parameters such as points and experience values. This improves the user's motivation for making the elapsed time t2 in which the bomb 950 is arranged longer.

As described above, the attack form of the operation character may include a skill attack. The skill UI for activating a skill attack may be fixedly displayed on the screen, or may be displayed on the screen in response to a touch operation such as a long press operation by the user. .. When displayed in response to the long press operation, the skill UI may be displayed around the touch position for the long press operation or around the operation character.

[Appendix]
The contents according to one aspect of the present invention are listed below.

(Item 1) The game program (131) has been described. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, a game program is executed by a computer (at least one of the user terminal 100 and the server 200) including a processor (10, 20) and a memory (11, 21). The game program displays on the processor the timing of the attack of the second object (enemy character 920) targeting the first object (operation character 910) that can be operated by the user, and the first operation (long operation by the user). In response to the pushing operation), arranging a third object (bomb 950) for attacking the second object in the same game space as the first object and the second object, and a third object arranged in the arranging step. Determining the amount of damage given to the second object by the third object according to the length of time that the distance between the position of the object and the first object is less than or equal to the first threshold, and executing the attack by the third object In response to the satisfaction of a predetermined condition for performing, a step of executing an attack motion of the third object that can give the damage of the damage amount determined in the determining step to the second object is executed. According to this configuration, it is possible to more effectively give damage to the attacking second object as the first object is kept at the arrangement position of the third object. Thus, the longer the time the first object stays near the third object after the third object is placed, the more advantageous it is to the user in response to the attack timing of the second object. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the interest in the game action.

(Item 2) In (Item 1), the game program may cause the processor to further execute the step of displaying the range covered by the attack of the second object. As a result, the user can visually recognize the position where the attack of the second object reaches. Therefore, the success rate of the attack on the second object by the third object can be further increased.

(Item 3) In (Item 1) or (Item 2), in the step of accepting the first operation, the step of arranging is that the first operation is accepted while the attack timing of the second object is displayed. In response, the third object may be placed. As a result, the user can execute the attack by the third object as a countermeasure against the attack of the second object, and the interest in the action of the game is further enhanced.

(Item 4) In any one of (Item 1) to (Item 3), in the step of executing the attack action, the fact that the second object has triggered the attack according to the timing is applied as a predetermined condition. May be. This makes it possible to adjust the amount of damage given to the second object until just before the attack of the second object reaches the first and third objects, which further enhances the fun of the game regarding actions.

(Item 5) In any one of (Item 1) to (Item 4), the game program causes the processor to further execute a step of moving the first object in response to a second operation performed by the user, thereby performing an attack operation. In the step of executing, the distance between the position of the first object moved in the moving step and the position of the third object arranged in the arranging step exceeds a second threshold as a predetermined condition. May apply. As a result, the amount of damage given to the second object and the safety of the first object can both be achieved, so that the strategic nature of the game is enhanced.

(Item 6) In (Item 5), the step of giving damage may be a step of moving, and a flick operation may be applied as the second operation. With this, the user can move the first object from a position where the attack of the second object occurs by a quick operation. Therefore, the damage amount of the second object can be adjusted until immediately before such a movement, so that the game is more strategic.

(Item 7) In any one of (Item 1) to (Item 6), the game program causes the processor to generate a third object in response to the third operation of the user in response to the third operation. In the step of executing the attack motion, the step of setting the time until the attack motion is executed is further executed, and as a predetermined condition, the elapsed time from the time when the third operation is accepted in the setting step is set to the above-mentioned setting. It may be applied that the time set in the step is reached. This allows the user to set the attack start time by the third object based on the displayed timing so that the attack on the second object is most effective. Therefore, the fun of predicting the time until the third object starts attacking the second object is added, and the interest of the game is further enhanced.
