12. The computer program product embodying the computer readable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 ,

wherein the form of the effect object is varied according to an operation time of the operation input performed by the player with respect to the input interface.

13. The computer program product embodying the computer readable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 ,

wherein a size of the form of the effect object that is displayed on the display is proportional to an operation time of the operation input performed by the player with respect to the input interface.

14. The computer program product embodying the computer readable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 ,

wherein the plurality of virtual objects includes the character object, and the character object is operable by the player, and

the corresponding one of the parameters corresponds to another parameter of the parameters, and the another parameter is one of an ability value of the character object or a moving speed of the character object in the virtual space.

15. The computer program product embodying the computer readable instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 10 ,

wherein the effect object obstructs a visibility of the player with respect to at least one of the character object, a bonus item object, or a structure object disposed in the virtual space by varying the form of the effect object, and

the form of the effect object is at least one of a size, transparency, or a shape of the effect object.

16. A method performed for causing a processor in a computer to execute a process, the computer including an input interface configured to accept, from a player, an operation input to an effect object disposed in a virtual space displayed on a display, and a memory configured to store one or a plurality of virtual objects disposed in the virtual space, parameters associated with one or each of a plurality of the virtual objects and computer readable instructions, the method comprising executing on the processor the computer readable instructions comprising the steps of:
