Abstract: A game processing method that causes a computer to execute a game program includes displaying, with a touchscreen, a reference operation and a deck that comprises an item, receiving a first input operation to select the deck and second input operations, determining a matching degree between the reference operation and each of the second input operations, outputting, from a processor to a memory, a level of the matching degree based on the determination, counting, with the processor, a number of consecutive times that the level continuously exceeds a predetermined threshold level, calculating, with the processor, a score of the user based on the number, and outputting, from the processor to the memory, the score. When the item comprises a card having a predetermined effect and continuation of exceeding the predetermined threshold level is interrupted, the number is counted as if no interruption has occurred.
