  • Publication number: 20110218041
    Abstract: There is provided a game machine configured such that the activity is enhanced in a game where points are gained depending on the state of the plural component objects being piled up in a game image. The shot line to be moved out of the lines of ball masses BM, BM100 constituted by plural balls B, B100, by the moving line determination operation by a player, and the moving distance for which the moving line ML is moved is determined by the moving distance determination operation by the player. The plural balls B, B100 on the determined moving line are moved in the line direction depending on the determined moving distance. In the case that, after the moving line moving, the plural balls B, B100 in the ball masses BM establish a predetermined state, the plural balls B, B100 are deleted, and the balls B, B100 arranged on the column of the deleted balls B, B100 are moved in the column direction.
