Claims (3)

1. The computer of the information processing device executes a game that combines a rhythm game and a role-playing game, comprising: an input unit that accepts multiple types of instructions from the user; a display unit that displays game images including characters; and a speaker unit that outputs music. The game features a main character and sub-characters who act alongside the main character, and the user inputs various buttons on the input unit in time with the rhythm of the music. The combination of the input button type and the rhythm determines rhythm commands, which allow the sub-characters to participate in the battle game. The computer then increases the sub-characters' strength levels across multiple stages, thereby clearing game stages. During the progress of the game, which consists of the game images and the music, an input reception process is performed to receive button inputs of the instructions to the input unit, In accordance with the type of button input in the input reception process, a music output process is performed to output music or sound from the speaker unit, In a loop section divided into a timing section for executing the rhythm game and a command section for operating the sub-character based on the results of the rhythm game, In the timing part, the system determines whether the input timing based on the input timing of multiple button inputs to the input unit falls within the just input range or the normal input range, relative to the median of multiple intervals set in beat intervals from the start of the timing part by the button input to the input unit in the transition part, which is a period that appears when the game starts or the level changes. Based on the result of this determination, if it falls within the just input range, the system adds just points to the combo points. Then, it determines whether a combo has been formed indicating that all of the multiple input timings are within the just input range or the normal input range. If a combo has been formed, the system adds combo points to the combo points. If the input timing is not within the specified just input range, it is determined whether the input timing is within the specified normal input range. If the input timing is within the specified normal input range, it is determined whether the combo has been completed. If the combo has been completed, the combo completion points are added to the combo points. If the aforementioned combo points are equal to or greater than the points required to activate Fever, the aforementioned level is increased by one count. In the command part, which is set after the timing part, the command data table is referenced based on the button type to set the operation mode corresponding to the command, the character operation processing of the sub-character is executed, and if the total value of the combo points is equal to or greater than the fever activation point, a level transition process is executed to transition to a special level in which the probability of the character winning increases, and the game progress processing is performed. A game program that executes the game.
2. The level transition process is further executed when the character movement process has occurred a predetermined number of times consecutively. The game program according to claim 1 .
3. The game program according to claim 2 , wherein the smaller the predetermined range for determining whether the difference in input timing in the game progression process is within a predetermined range , the fewer the predetermined number of times the process is performed.
