Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a game program causing a computer to execute functions includes moving each of a game medium in a game field including a plurality of regions, along respective paths set in accordance with a movable path and a moving speed set in the game medium associated with a first player and an attribute of the region; displaying a selection object so that the selection object is shown in at least one of the plurality of regions according to an operation by a second player; changing an attribute of a region in which the selection object is shown and an attribute of regions contained in an influence range set in the selection object; and moving, when the attribute of the region in which the selection object is shown is changed, the game medium according to the attribute of the region in which the selection object is shown, the movable path and the moving speed set in the game medium.

Claims (27)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a game method comprising:

moving a first game medium of a plurality of game mediums along a path in a game field including a plurality of regions;

throwing a first object in the game field according to an operation by a first player;

displaying a second object in a first region of the plurality of regions in response to selection of the first region by the first object, the second object being different from the first object; and

changing a parameter of the first game medium associated with the first region.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein throwing the first object includes animating the first object to fly out to the first region in which the first object is displayed.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the first game medium is present in the first region.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein changing the parameter of the first game medium includes changing the parameter of the first game medium when the first game medium passes through the first region after the second object is displayed in the first region.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter of the first game medium is continuously changed after the first game medium passes through the first region.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein the parameter includes at least one of a moving speed, a moving direction, a moving path, an offensive power, a physical strength and state information of the first game medium.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 6 , wherein the parameter includes the physical strength of the first game medium, and the physical strength of the first game medium is reduced when the second object is displayed.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 6 , wherein the parameter includes the moving speed of the first game medium, and the moving speed of the first game medium is reduced when the second object is displayed.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein an item that supports the first game medium is displayed when the second object is displayed.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein moving the first game medium along the path includes moving the first game medium according to an operation by a second player, the second player being different from the first player.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 1 , wherein throwing the first object in the game field includes throwing the first object according to at least one of a length or a direction input by the first player.

12. A method of controlling a computer to execute a game, comprising:

moving a first game medium of a plurality of game mediums along a path in a game field including a plurality of regions;

throwing a first object in the game field according to an operation by a first player;

displaying a second object in a first region of the plurality of regions in response to selection of the first region by the first object, the second object being different from the first object; and

changing a parameter of the first game medium associated with the first region.

13. A computer that executes a game program, comprising:

a display; and

circuitry configured to:

move a first game medium of a plurality of game mediums along a path in a game field including a plurality of regions;

throw a first object in the game field according to an operation by a first player;

display a second object on the display in a first region of the plurality of regions in response to selection of the first region by the first object, the second object being different from the first object; and

change a parameter of the first game medium associated with the first region.
