Abstract

A toy transformable between a first form and a second form includes a first outer shell part and a second outer shell part configured to be coupled to the first outer shell part. The first outer shell part and the second outer shell part are configured to form different configurations in the first form and the second form, depending on coupling between an end of the first outer shell part and an end of the second outer shell part. Transformation is made between the first and second forms by selecting coupling in which coupling ends on opening sides of the respective first and second outer shell parts face each other or coupling of a coupling end opposite (facing in an opposite direction from) the coupling end on the opening side of the second outer shell part to the coupling end on the opening side of the first outer shell part.

Abstract

[Problem] To execute a rearing game that enables rearing of game elements by intuitive operation input. [Solution] A game device for executing processing relating to a rearing game for growing a game element. A plurality of rearing stages including branches which cause the growth state of a game element to change are defined for the game element in the rearing game. The game device comprises an execution means for executing processing relating to the rearing game, a display means for displaying the game element, an input means for receiving operation input relating to rearing of the game element, a management means for managing the rearing stages of the game element, and a determination means that, when a change condition for changing from a first rearing stage to a second rearing stage in the rearing game is satisfied, determines one growth state corresponding to operation input relating to the rearing performed until the change condition was satisfied from among the growth states of branch destinations relating to a second rearing stage of the game element. The operation input relating to rearing includes first operation input not accompanied by selection of a selection item relating to rearing.
