Patent number: 7717781Abstract: A computer game which makes the player operate a falling object that falls in a predetermined display area, and clears the falling object and falling stop objects by combining the falling object and falling stop objects under a predetermined condition. If falling stop objects including blocks that stop falling include a group of blocks which meet a predetermined clear condition, the group of blocks are registered as blocks to be cleared, and the control waits for a clear waiting state. Even in this waiting state, the next falling object begins to fall. After that, when a sequence bar (701) which moves vertically or horizontally in synchronism with a music output along with the progress of the game has passed the blocks to be cleared, these blocks are cleared.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2005Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignees: Bandai Co., Ltd., Q Entertainment, Inc., Namco Bandai Games, Inc.Inventors: Ryuichi Hattori, Osamu Kodera, Katsumi Yokota
