An information processor includes: a display device which is able to display symbols including at least one first symbol and at least one second symbol and which is configured to display an area in which columns and stages are arranged; and a controller programmed to execute processes (1a) to (1c) as a unit game. The controller is programmed to execute: (1a) a process of randomly determining symbols; (1b) a process of displaying the determined symbols in the area; (1c) a process of awarding a payout; (1d) a process of fix-displaying the at least one second symbol in one or more the columns, the number of the one or more of the columns corresponding to the number of first symbols displayed in the area; and (1e) a process of performing next execution of the unit game by using the area in which the at least one second symbol is fix-displayed.

A computer device is configured to provide a computer implemented game. A display displays a game play screen comprising a first area and a second area, the first area of the game play screen comprising a game board comprising one or more first game objects to be collected in response to user interaction. A processor causes items to be provided in the second area of the game play screen in response to the user interaction to satisfy game objectives associated with the second area of the game play screen. The processor determines a first contribution associated with an in-game currency to upgrade an upgradeable image associated with the second area of the game play screen and whether the respective level has been completed and to determine a second contribution; and if an accumulated second contribution from the completion of levels satisfies a criteria, provides inventory items which are usable to unlock or upgrade a respective item.

A computer device is configured to provide a computer implemented game. A display displays a game play screen with a game board in a first area and an upgradable image in a second area. First game objects to be collected during game play and in response one or more items are provided in the second area of the display. The upgradable image is upgraded via an upgrade screen. When a level of the computer implemented game is next played, the upgraded image is displayed in the second area of respective game play screen.

Provided is a game system or the like capable of setting a game field relatively wide. This game system provides a training game that progresses through a navigation character or a waiting character that moves in accordance with a user instruction in a game field of a monitor that displays a room screen including the game field. Further, for example, the game system specifies a position relationship between a waiting position and a guide position, when the user instructs the waiting character to move from the waiting position to the guide position in the game field, and changes a moving speed of the waiting character between a normal speed and a special speed in accordance with the specified position relationship, when the waiting character moves from the waiting position to the guide position.

A method and system for assisting virtual interaction on an entertainment device is disclosed. A user profile that includes user data associated with use of the entertainment device is stored. An indication of a new use by the user of the entertainment device based on the user profile is detected. An activity associated with the new use of the entertainment device is determined. An assistance for the activity associated with the new use of the entertainment device based on the user profile is provided and the user profile is updated based on the provided assistance.

Provided is a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having an information processing program stored therein that, in a game in which a predetermined condition is set as an achievement goal, makes it unnecessary to start the game over again even if the predetermined condition is not achieved. At least one game object selected from among game objects possessed by a user is arranged within a game space, and a score is calculated on the basis of the game object. If the score satisfies an achievement condition, an in-game effect corresponding to the achievement condition is caused. If the score does not satisfy the achievement condition but satisfies a sub-achievement condition that is not satisfied simultaneously with the achievement condition, change of a game state is performed so as to cause the in-game effect corresponding to the achievement condition in exchange for change of an exchange parameter.

A method for providing a puzzle game performed by a game server connected to a user terminal via a network includes the steps of: performing a user login process in response to receiving login information from the user terminal; and executing the puzzle game on the user terminal in response to receiving a game execution signal from the user terminal. Game action is performed in conjunction with player object groups if it is determined that a puzzle block elimination condition is satisfied according to a cumulative result of eliminating the puzzle blocks.
