  • Publication number: 20240009570
    Abstract: In an example of an information processing system, in a case where a user character is present on an area in a first state on a wall surface, and while an input to an operation button is continued, the user character is caused to perform a preliminary action, and if at least the input to the operation button ends, the user character is moved to a boundary between the area in the first state and another area on the wall surface. If the user character reaches the boundary, the user character is caused to jump from the boundary.

  • Publication number: 20220258046
    Abstract: An example of an information processing system causes a player object to exit a game stage at least when the player object satisfies an exit condition as a result of an attack by an enemy object. After the player object exits from the game stage, (a) when a first condition is satisfied, the information processing system returns the player object based on a designated position that is specified by a return input of a first type, which is a position in a first area of the game stage, and (b) when a second condition different from the first condition is satisfied, the information processing system returns the player object based on a designated position that is specified by a return input of a second type, which is a position of a movement target object arranged on the game stage.
