Patent number: 11484794Abstract: A game device including memory an operation device, and circuitry. The memory is configured to store information related to an image of a first object and a virtual space. The operation device is configured to output first operation information and second operation information, based on a motion of a player. The circuitry is configured to display an image of the first object moving in the virtual space, progress a first game when the first operation information is retrieved, determine whether a state of the first object moving in the virtual space satisfies a predetermined condition in the first game, and progress a second game when the second operation information is retrieved within a predetermined period after the state of the first object satisfies the predetermined condition.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: GREE, Inc.Inventors: Hitoshi Imai, Gaku Kawamura, Yuzaburo Maruyama
