Description

  The present invention relates to a game control technique, and more particularly, to a game device, a game control method, and a game control program for controlling a puzzle game that causes an object added in a game field to disappear.

  A so-called “falling object game” in which objects falling from above the game field are rotated or moved and stacked on the game field to dispose the objects in an arrangement that satisfies a predetermined condition is popular with a wide range of users.

  There are many such puzzle games on the market, but the basic concepts are the same, and many of them do not change. There is a demand for the development of a unique puzzle game that allows you to enjoy fresh fun.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a game control technique with higher entertainment.

  One embodiment of the present invention relates to a game control program. The game control program includes a function for generating and displaying a game field screen, a function for adding an object to the game field at a predetermined timing, and the object added to the game field. A function of automatically moving in accordance with a predetermined rule in the game field, and a function of determining a position where the object comes into contact with a frame of the game field or another object existing in the game field. , A function of changing the arrangement by moving the object in accordance with a user operation, a function of determining whether the arrangement of a plurality of stationary objects satisfies a predetermined condition, and when the condition is satisfied , Deleting a plurality of objects satisfying the condition from the game field Characterized in that to achieve functions and that, to the computer.

  It should be noted that any combination of the above-described constituent elements and a representation of the present invention converted between a method, an apparatus, a system, etc. are also effective as an aspect of the present invention.

  According to the present invention, a more entertaining game control technique can be provided.

  The game device according to the embodiment controls a puzzle game in which a plurality of objects added one after another in the game field are arranged and deleted so as to satisfy a predetermined condition. In the present embodiment, when a spherical egg is stacked in a game field that looks like an egg hatcher, the user moves the egg and arranges it so that four or more of the same kind of eggs are linearly adjacent to each other. The game progresses with the setting that chicks hatch from eggs and fly away from the game field. First, the outline of the game will be described.

  FIG. 1 shows an example of a display screen of the game device according to the embodiment. Incubator 102 is displayed on display screen 100, and five types of eggs 110 are laid one after another in the inside of incubator 102. Eggs 112 laid down in the incubator 102 fall under the action of gravity, and bounce off the bottom of the incubator 102 or hit the already stacked eggs, and then move according to the laws of physics, and then rest in a stable position so that they are alternately stacked. To do. All the eggs 110 are spheres having the same radius and are stacked up close to form a face-centered cubic lattice (cubic close-packed lattice). However, a gap 114 corresponding to a lattice defect may occur depending on the timing at which the egg 110 falls or moves.

  The arrangement of the eggs stacked on the incubator 102 can be changed by using an egg pump 104 for moving the eggs. The egg pump 104 is an object that can be moved up and down and left and right with the egg housed inside. In this embodiment, one stage of egg can be accommodated, but a plurality of stages of eggs may be accommodated and moved simultaneously. The egg pump 104 may be considered as a rod-shaped object for moving the egg accommodated in the left and right by sliding itself to the left and right, and is folded in the pushed state, It may be considered that the object is stretchable when it is pushed out and extends outside the hatch 102 and is folded again when the egg housed inside is pushed into the hatch 102.

  If the egg pump 104 is considered to be a rod-like object, the egg pump 104 is longer than the width of the incubator 102, so that one of the left and right sides always protrudes out of the incubator 102. When the egg pump 104 is slid to the left and right, the egg housed in the portion that protrudes outside is pushed into the inside of the incubator 102, and the egg on the opposite side of the stage where the egg pump 104 exists is pushed out of the incubator 102. It is. In this manner, the egg can be pulled out of the incubator 102 using the egg pump 104. It can be considered that the egg is pushed out of the incubator 102 by the egg pump 104, or it can be considered that the egg is pulled out, but both indicate the same state. Do not use different terms. In the example of FIG. 1, the length of the egg pump 104 is longer than the width of the incubator 102 by three eggs, so that three eggs can be drawn out of the incubator 102. The extracted eggs can be exchanged with each other by the user's operation. Further, when the egg pump 104 is moved up and down in a state where the egg is pulled out, the drawn egg can be moved up and down. At this time, the egg inside the incubator 102 is not moved up and down. Thus, if the egg pump 104 is pushed back to the incubator 102 after the position of the egg is changed or moved up and down, the arrangement of the eggs in the incubator 102 can be changed.

  Since the width of the hatch 102 is 6 eggs and the length of the egg pump 104 is longer than the width of the hatch 102 by 3 eggs, all the eggs in the hatch 102 are left or right by the egg pump 104. It can be pulled out and the arrangement position can be changed. Thus, by setting the length of the egg pump 104 to 1.5 times the width of the incubator 102, half of the eggs arranged in a row parallel to the moving direction of the egg pump 104 in the game field are left and right. All objects in the game field can be moved.

  If the egg pump 104 is considered to be an object provided on the outside of the incubator 102 to push the egg into the inside of the incubator 102, the egg pump 104 will remove half of the width of the incubator 102, that is, three eggs. It can be extended to the outside of the incubator 102 to a length that can be accommodated. When the egg pump 104 pushes the three eggs accommodated in the inside of the incubator 102, the three eggs on the reverse side are pushed out of the incubator 102, and the egg pump 104 on the reverse side is pushed out of the incubator 102. Extend outward. At this time, the pushed-in egg pump 104 is folded. The egg pump 104 may also be pushed into the inside of the incubator 102. The positions of the eggs in the egg pump 104 can be interchanged. When the egg pump 104 is moved up and down, the three eggs accommodated also move up and down.

  The user uses the egg pump 104 to arrange the eggs so that four or more of the same kind of eggs are arranged in a straight line. Four or more eggs 116 arranged in a straight line are hatched to produce a chick after a predetermined time, and are erased from the inside of the incubator 102. At this time, a predetermined score is given to the user. In the gap between the eggs where the chicks were born and disappeared, the eggs that were in the upper level dropped and the gaps were filled. When four or more eggs 116 are in a reach state from being arranged in a straight line until hatching, if four or more other eggs are arranged in a line, a higher score than usual is given to the user. . This is called “chain”. Four or more eggs including the eggs already in the reach state may be arranged in a straight line. That is, after arranging four or more eggs in a straight line to reach a reach state, if the same kind of egg in another position is moved to the position of an egg that is already in a reach state and replaced, that egg is also in a reach state. Can be chained. Note that the egg in the reach state returns to the normal egg without being hatched at the timing of hatching when it is pulled out of the hatching device 102 by the egg pump 104.

  In the present embodiment, an egg having a special function is prepared in order to adjust the difficulty level of the game and change the game. The heavy egg 120 marked with a cross is set to be heavier than a normal egg, and the egg in the stage where the heavy egg 120 exists cannot be moved by the egg pump 104. A cross mark 130 is displayed on the outside of the incubator 102 on both sides of the stage that cannot move due to the presence of the heavy egg 120. The heavy egg 120 cannot move itself, but by changing the arrangement of the eggs in the upper and lower stages of the heavy egg 120, four eggs of the same kind as the heavy egg 120 are included so that the heavy egg 120 is included. When arranged in a straight line as described above, the heavy egg 120 is hatched and erased, so that the state where the movement is prohibited is released.

  A higher score than the normal egg is assigned to the star egg 122 marked with an asterisk. Therefore, when four or more eggs of the same type as the starter eggs 122 are arranged in a straight line so that the starter eggs 122 are included, the starter eggs 122 are hatched, and a bonus score higher than usual is given to the user. The start egg 122 has a time limit, and a higher score than the normal egg is assigned only while the star is displayed on the start egg 122. If the star egg 122 does not hatch during that time, the star is erased and returned to the normal egg.

  The mighty eggs 124 with double circles can be used as all kinds of eggs, and if there are four or more of the same kind of eggs arranged in a straight line so that the mighty eggs 124 are included, they are present inside the incubator 102 All eggs of that type will reach reach and hatch after a predetermined time. While the Mighty Egg 124 is in a reach state, if four or more different types of eggs are arranged in a straight line so that the Mighty Egg 124 is included, all of that type of eggs are also hatched in a chain. Can do.

  In this way, the user deletes four or more eggs that are laid down in the incubator 102 one after another and arranged in a straight line. When the eggs are stacked up to the top, the game is over.

  In the present embodiment, three game modes are prepared. The first game mode is an “unlimited mode” aiming at a high score without any time limit. The second game mode is a “time limit mode” aiming for a high score within a predetermined time limit. The third game mode is a “battle mode” in which a plurality of users compete. These game modes will be described later.

  FIG. 2 shows a configuration of the game apparatus 10 according to the embodiment. The game apparatus 10 includes a controller 20, an input reception unit 30, a control unit 40, a parameter holding unit 60, a screen generation unit 66, a display device 68, and a speaker 72. In terms of hardware components, these configurations are realized by a CPU of a computer, a memory, a program loaded in the memory, and the like, but here, functional blocks realized by their cooperation are illustrated. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof.

  The input receiving unit 30 receives a control signal input from the controller 20 operated by the player. The control unit 40 reads and executes the program from the storage medium storing the game program, and controls the movement of the object existing in the game field based on the operation input from the player received by the input receiving unit 30. Advance the game. The parameter holding unit 60 holds parameters necessary for the progress of the game. The screen generation unit 66 generates a game screen controlled by the control unit 40 and causes the display device 68 to display the game screen. The speaker 72 outputs the sound of the game controlled by the control unit 40.

  FIG. 3 shows the external appearance of the controller 20. On the upper surface of the controller 20, a cross key 21, a Δ button 22, a □ button 23, a ○ button 24, a x button 25, and analog sticks 26 and 27 are provided. Further, an L button 28 and an R button 29 are provided on the side surface of the controller 20. In the present embodiment, the left / right direction key of the cross key 21 has a function of moving the egg pump 104 to the left and right so as to push it into the incubator 102, and the up / down direction key has a function of moving the egg pump 104 up and down. Assigned. In addition, the ○ button 24 is a function for switching the arrangement of the three eggs drawn out of the incubator 102 by the egg pump 104, and the Δ button 22 is a function for forcibly hatching the egg in the reach state. The □ button 23 is assigned to a function that prompts and drops the egg. Further, the controller 20 is provided with a six-axis sensor (not shown). The operation of swinging the controller 20 left and right is a function of swinging the hatching 102 left and right to shift the egg to the left and right, and the operation of swinging the controller 20 up and down. It is assigned to the function of swinging the incubator 102 up and down and causing the eggs to jump up slightly to change the arrangement of the eggs and close the gap. These functions may be assigned to the analog sticks 26 and 27, the L button 28, the R button 29, and the like.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of internal data of the parameter holding unit. The parameter holding unit 60 is provided with a position column 180, a coordinate column 182, a type column 184, and a status column 186. The position column 180 stores data indicating the position of the egg. The position of the egg may be expressed by a set of a numerical value indicating the horizontal position and a numerical value indicating the vertical position, for example. In the present embodiment, the position in the horizontal direction is a numerical value that increases as it proceeds to the right, assuming that the leftmost position when it is pushed to the left by the egg pump 104 is 1. That is, the external position on the left side of the incubator 102 is indicated by 1-3, the internal position of the incubator 102 is indicated by 4-9, and the external position on the right side of the incubator 102 is indicated by 10-12. The position in the vertical direction is a numerical value indicating the number of steps from the bottom, with the lowest step being 1.

  The coordinate column 182 stores the coordinates of the egg position on the screen. As will be described later, the coordinates of the center position of the egg when the egg is stacked most closely from the bottom of the incubator 102 are stored in the coordinate field 182 in advance.

  The type column 184 stores the type of egg. As described above, in this embodiment, five types of eggs with different colors are prepared, and for each type of egg, a normal egg 110, a heavy egg 120, and a start egg 122 are prepared. . In this embodiment, the mighty egg 124 is “0”, the red normal egg 110 is “1”, the red heavy egg 120 is “2”, the red start egg 122 is “3”, and the blue normal egg 110 is The egg type is managed numerically, such as “4” and blue heavy egg 120 “5”.

  The status column 186 stores the egg status. The status column 186 stores a flag indicating whether the egg is in a reach state. In the present embodiment, when the egg is in the reach state, the flag in the state column 186 is changed from “0” to “1”.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the description of each component is continued. The control unit 40 controls the progress of the game. The control unit 40 includes an object generation unit 41, an object control unit 42, a movement control unit 43, a condition determination unit 44, an object deletion unit 45, a score management unit 46, a level control unit 47, an effect control unit 48, and a game field control unit 49. The time management unit 50 and the battle control unit 51 are provided. In terms of hardware components, these configurations are realized by a CPU of a computer, a memory, a program loaded in the memory, and the like, but here, functional blocks realized by their cooperation are illustrated. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will understand that these functional blocks can be realized in various forms by hardware only, software only, or a combination thereof.

  The object generation unit 41 adds an object at a predetermined timing inside the game field. The object generation unit 41 generates a random number at a predetermined timing, and determines the type of egg to be dropped. In this embodiment, since it is set to drop two eggs at a time, the object generation unit 41 generates two random numbers and determines the type of each egg. At this time, the five types of normal eggs 110 are generated with substantially the same probability, and the heavy eggs 120, the star eggs 122, and the mighty eggs 124 are generated with a predetermined probability lower than that of the normal eggs 110. The start egg 122 and the mighty egg 124 may be generated when a predetermined score or level is reached. The timing of laying eggs may be determined according to the user's score and level. For example, an egg may be added slowly immediately after the game starts, and the egg may be added gradually as the user's score or level increases. When notified from the input receiving unit 30 that the user has pressed the □ button 23, the object generating unit 41 immediately generates an egg without waiting for the next timing to add an egg.

  If there are no eggs of about 4 tiers in the inside of the incubator 102, it is difficult to move the eggs and arrange 4 or more in a straight line, so the game starts from the state where about 4 tiers of eggs are stacked as an initial state May be. In this case, the object generation unit 41 generates four stages of eggs at the start of the game and stores them in the parameter holding unit 60. At this time, three eggs may be arranged from the beginning in a portion of the egg pump 104 that protrudes from the outside of the incubator 102. Thereby, it can be set as the mechanism which pushes out the three eggs of the reverse side to the exterior of the hatching 102 by pushing the 3 eggs which protrude outside the hatching into the hatching 102. FIG. If the egg is not placed at the portion of the egg pump 104 that protrudes from the outside of the incubator 102 at the start of the game, when the egg pump 104 is first moved to the left or right at the stage where the egg exists, the outside of the incubator 102 The egg should be pulled out.

  The object control unit 42 automatically moves an object added inside the game field in accordance with a predetermined rule in the game field, and the object is a frame of the game field or another object existing in the game field. The position where it comes into contact with and stops is determined. The object control unit 42 causes the egg generated by the object generation unit 41 to drop downward from a predetermined initial position on the top of the hatcher 102 at a predetermined initial speed according to the laws of physics. In addition, the coefficient of restitution between the eggs and the frame of the incubator 102, the coefficient of repulsion between the eggs, etc. are set, the collision determination is performed on the falling eggs, and it collides with the frame of the incubator 102 or other eggs When it is determined that the collision has occurred, the motion after the collision is determined by physical calculation using the set coefficient of restitution. As a result, it is possible to realistically reproduce how the eggs fall from the top and accumulate. The object control unit 42 calculates the position of the egg for each frame and notifies the screen generation unit 66 to generate a game screen.

  The object control unit 42 may change the initial position of the egg, the initial speed, the coefficient of restitution, and the like according to the type of egg, the score or level of the user, and the like. For example, the higher the user level, the lower the initial position and the faster the initial speed. Alternatively, the rebound coefficient of the heavy egg 120 may be reduced so that it does not bounce so much that it represents a heavy egg.

  In this embodiment, all eggs are spheres having the same radius. Therefore, if the movement of the egg is determined by physical calculation, when the egg is stacked on the bottom of the incubator 102, the eggs should be alternately stacked so as to be the most dense. In order to reduce the calculation amount, the object control unit 42 may stop the egg without moving after the egg speed falls below a predetermined threshold. At this time, the object control unit 42 acquires the coordinates held in advance in the coordinate field 182 of the parameter holding unit 60 as the position of the egg when the balls are stacked densely from the bottom of the hatch 102, and at that time The coordinates closest to the egg position are determined, and the coordinates are set as the stationary position of the egg. When the object control unit 42 determines the stationary position of the egg, the object control unit 42 stores the type of the egg in the corresponding position record of the parameter holding unit 60.

  The movement control unit 43 changes the arrangement by moving a stationary object in accordance with a user operation. When notified from the input receiving unit 30 that the user has pressed the cross key 21, the movement control unit 43 moves the egg pump 104 in the instructed direction. As described above, since the egg pump 104 is three eggs longer than the width of the incubator 102, the three eggs are drawn out of the incubator 102 in the direction in which the egg pump 104 is moved. At this time, when the input receiving unit 30 is notified that the user has pressed the ○ button 24, the movement control unit 43 exchanges the positions of the three eggs drawn out of the incubator 102 with each other. When the input receiving unit 30 notifies that the user has pressed the up / down button of the cross key 21, the movement control unit 43 moves the egg pump 104 up and down to extract the three pieces drawn out of the incubator 102. The egg is returned to a position different from the original position of the incubator 102.

  The condition determination unit 44 determines whether or not the arrangement of a plurality of stationary objects satisfies a predetermined condition. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether four or more of the same kind of eggs are arranged in a straight line. The condition determination unit 44 refers to the parameter holding unit 60 when the object control unit 42 determines the position where a certain egg is stationary or when the movement control unit 43 changes the position of a certain egg. , Check the type of eggs around that egg. The condition determination unit 44, if there is an egg of the same type as the target egg among the six eggs adjacent to the left, right, diagonal upper right, diagonal lower right, diagonal upper left, diagonal lower left of the target egg The type of the egg that is further adjacent in the direction is checked, and if four or more of the same kind of eggs are arranged, the flag in the egg status column 186 at those positions is changed to “1”. The screen generation unit 66 determines whether an egg whose status column 186 is “1” is blinking or has a thick frame so that it can be identified as being in a reach state. Display in different display modes.

  The object erasure unit 45 erases a plurality of objects determined to satisfy the condition by the condition determination unit 44 from the game field. When the object erasure unit 45 is notified from the condition determination unit 44 that any of the eggs has reached the reach state, the object deletion unit 45 operates the counter to confirm the elapse of a predetermined time during which the reach state is maintained. When the condition determining unit 44 notifies that another egg has reached the reach state during the reach state, the counter is reset and waits until a predetermined time elapses again. When a predetermined time elapses, the object erasing unit 45 notifies the production control unit 48 of the position and type of the egg to hatch, and displays the appearance that the egg hatched and a chick was born and jumped out of the hatch 102. . Further, the object erasure unit 45 clears the record type column 184 and the status column 186 corresponding to the hatched egg position of the parameter holding unit 60.

  The score management unit 46 manages the user's score. The score management unit 46 adds a predetermined score when the egg hatches. The score management unit 46 may determine the score according to the number of eggs hatched at the same time, may determine the score according to the number of eggs arranged in a straight line, or the reach state is continuously determined. A score may be determined according to the number of occurrences. Further, when the starter egg 122 hatches, a higher score than that of the normal egg 110 assigned to the starter egg 122 is added.

  The level control unit 47 controls the user level. The level control unit 47 may determine the user level according to the user score held by the score management unit 46. For example, the level may be increased when the user obtains a predetermined score.

  The production control unit 48 controls various production effects on the game display screen. The production control unit 48 displays a state in which chicks are born from each egg and fly away to the outside of the incubator 102 when the egg hatches. At this time, joyful voices of chicks and sound effects that celebrate the birth are output. Also, as the user's score or level increases, the background image is changed or the background music is changed.

  The game field control unit 49 moves an object inside the game field by vibrating the game field in accordance with a user operation. When the game field control unit 49 is notified from the input receiving unit 30 that the user has swung the controller 20 up and down or left and right, the game field control unit 49 swings the incubator 102 in the direction in which the user has swung the controller 20, and is inside the incubator 102. Move the egg. The game field control unit 49 notifies the object control unit 42 of the magnitude of the vibration, gives a predetermined initial speed to the egg, and calculates its movement.

  The time management unit 50 manages the game time in the time limit mode. In the time limit mode, since the players compete for scores during a predetermined time, the time management unit 50 counts the elapsed time from the start of the game, and ends the game when the predetermined time elapses.

  The battle control unit 51 controls a battle between a plurality of users in the battle mode. The battle control unit 51 displays a plurality of incubators 102 on the game screen, receives operation inputs of each game from the plurality of controllers 20, and executes a plurality of puzzle games in parallel. In the case of a battle between two users, when an egg hatches in the hatching device 102 of one user, the egg is added to the hatching device 102 of the other user. Depending on the number of eggs hatched in the hatch 102 of one user, the number of chains, etc., the amount and type of eggs added to the hatch 102 of the other user are determined. The match control unit 51 ends the match when the game is over when the eggs are stacked up to the top of the hatch 102 of any user.

  Next, the actual game progress will be described in more detail with reference to the display screen. When the user presses the left button of the cross key 21 in the state shown in FIG. 1, the movement control unit 43 moves the egg pump 104 to the left. Thus, in FIG. 1, the three eggs pulled out of the right side of the incubator 102 by the egg pump 104 are pushed back into the inside of the incubator 102 and instead exist in the left half inside the incubator 102 in the same row. The three eggs were pulled out to the outside on the left side of the incubator 102. The state is shown in FIG.

  At this time, the movement control unit 43 updates the record type column 184 and the status column 186 corresponding to the fourth level position from the bottom of the parameter holding unit 60. For example, the position (1, 4) does not have an egg in FIG. 1, but the egg pump 104 is moved to the left so that the egg exists at that position. Is stored in the type column 184.

  When the user presses the ○ button 24 in the state shown in FIG. 5, the movement control unit 43 exchanges the positions of the three eggs drawn out to the outside of the left side of the hatching device 102 by the egg pump 104. The state is shown in FIG. At this time, the movement control unit 43 updates the record type column 184 and the status column 186 corresponding to the positions where the eggs of the parameter holding unit 60 are replaced.

  When the user presses the down button of the cross key 21 in the state of FIG. 6, the movement control unit 43 moves the egg pump 104 downward. At this time, the egg drawn to the outside of the incubator 102 moves downward together with the egg pump 104, but the egg inside the incubator 102 is not moved in its position. The state is shown in FIG. At this time, the movement control unit 43 updates the corresponding record type column 184 and status column 186 of the parameter holding unit 60.

  When the user presses the right button of the cross key 21 in the state of FIG. 7, the movement control unit 43 moves the egg pump 104 to the right. The state is shown in FIG. There was a gap 114 at this stage, but when the egg pump 104 is moved to the right, the egg is packed in order from the right end of the egg pump 104, so there is a gap at the left end of the egg pump 104. . In this way, in the stage where the gap is open, it is necessary to consider the arrangement of the eggs while taking into consideration that the gap is closed by the movement of the egg pump 104, and the game can be changed.

  At the stage where the gap is open, the eggs are arranged in order from the end in the direction in which the egg pump 104 is moved, and the eggs existing in the left half of the incubator 102 are present in the right half and the right half. You can also move the egg to the left half. For example, in the state of FIG. 7, when the egg pump 104 is moved to the right after moving to the stage where the egg above the incubator 102 does not exist, the three eggs that have been drawn to the outside of the left side of the incubator 102 are It is pulled out of the right side of the incubator 102. In this way, the user can replace a certain egg by moving it to the position of any egg existing inside the incubator 102.

  In the state of FIG. 8, the user presses the ○ button 24 so that the white egg comes to the rightmost, moves the egg pump 104 up two steps, and pushes the egg pump 104 to the left, as shown in FIG. 9. It becomes a state. At this time, since the four white eggs 140 are arranged in a straight line, these eggs 140 are in a reach state. If the series of operations shown in FIGS. 4 to 9 can be performed while the four eggs 116 shown in FIG. 1 are in the reach state, the reach state can be chained, and a higher score can be obtained. Can be earned.

  In the state of FIG. 8, the user presses the ○ button 24 so that the mighty egg is at the rightmost position, moves the egg pump 104 up two stages, and pushes the egg pump 104 to the left. It becomes a state. At this time, since the mighty eggs that function as all kinds of eggs and the three white eggs are arranged in a straight line, these four eggs 142 are in a reach state. At this time, since the mighty egg has reached the reach state, the condition determination unit 44 sets all the white eggs in the hatcher 102 to the reach state. Thus, a high score can be acquired by using a mighty egg well.

  When a predetermined time elapses from the state of FIG. 10, an effect that the egg hatches is performed. As shown in FIG. 11, the effect control unit 48 displays a state where chicks 150 are born from each egg. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 12, the appearance of the born chick 150 flying away from the incubator 102 is displayed. At this time, the hatched egg is erased by the object erasure unit 45. The object control unit 42 causes gravity to act on the eggs above the hatched eggs and drops them so as to close the gaps. FIG. 13 shows a state where the egg in the upper stage has dropped and stopped.

  In the state shown in FIG. 13, when the user swings the controller 20 left and right, the game field control unit 49 vibrates the hatcher 102 left and right as shown in FIG. The object control unit 42 applies a force to the egg inside the hatching 102 in the direction of vibration. At this time, if sufficient force is applied to the egg 160 to get over to the next position, the egg 160 moves to the right.

  In the state shown in FIG. 13, when the user swings the controller 20 up and down, the game field control unit 49 vibrates the hatching 102 up and down as shown in FIG. The object control unit 42 jumps up the egg inside the hatching 102 and then drops it according to gravity. For example, when there is a gap between the eggs, the gap can be reduced by moving the egg by vibrating the incubator 102 up and down several times.

  When the incubator 102 is vibrated as shown in FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, since the force due to the vibration acts on the heavy egg, the heavy egg may move. Further, when the egg moves so as to close the gap as a result of the vibration, the egg in the upper stage also rolls down, so that the heavy egg may also move. If there are multiple heavy eggs in adjacent stages, it is difficult to move the eggs in those stages, so it will be difficult to arrange four eggs in a straight line, but there are also heavy eggs that cannot normally be moved. By making it possible to move the incubator 102 by oscillating it, it is possible to give the user a relief means and adjust it to an appropriate difficulty level.

  The effect control unit 48 may change the background image and the background music as the user's score and level increase or as time elapses from the start of the game. For example, when the user's level rises, time may be passed such as morning, noon, evening, night, morning, and the background image or background music corresponding to the time may be changed. FIG. 16 shows an example of a screen when the time in the game is night. In this way, by changing the background image and the background music, it is possible to prevent getting bored even if the game is played for a long time.

  The production control unit 48 may increase the number of chicks arranged in the background, reflecting that many chicks are born when the user's score or level rises. FIG. 17 shows an example of a screen when the number of chicks 152 is increased. In this way, the fun of the game can be emphasized by making the background image fun and lively.

  The production control unit 48 may change the background image or the background music according to the number of eggs or the number of steps stacked on the hatching device 102. For example, the expression of the parent chicken displayed on the upper right of the screen may be changed. FIG. 18 shows an example of a screen when the expression of the parent chicken is changed. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the egg is piled up above the incubator 102, and a state where the parent chicken 154 is crying is displayed. As a result, it is possible to express that the game is in a critical situation with an effect.

  FIG. 19 shows an example of a battle game screen controlled by the battle control unit 51. When a game is played by two users, the respective game machines 102a and 102b are displayed on the game screen, and the two games are executed in parallel. The user hatches his / her eggs faster and more, and drops many eggs on the opponent's incubator 102 to drive the opponent to the game over.
