Claim Text:
1. A game system comprising: a display device that displays and outputs a game screen; an input device including at least one operating unit; a sequence data storage device that stores sequence data in which an operation timing of the operating unit during a game is described together with information associated with each operation timing in advance; a game region presenting device implemented by a processing unit and configured to cause a game region in which a plurality of reference portions arranged apart from each other are set to be displayed on the game screen; a mark display control device implemented by the processing unit and configured to display each operation indication mark for indicating an operation on the operating unit such that the operation indication mark reaches the at least one of the plurality of reference portions along any one of a plurality of paths connecting the reference portions at an operation timing indicated by the sequence data, and a next operation indication mark having a correspondence relation with a certain operation indication mark moves along a path continuously connected with a moving path of the certain operation indication mark among the plurality of paths based on information described in the sequence data; a position change device implemented by the processing unit and configured to cause the certain operation indication mark to disappear from the game screen after the operation timing elapses and changes the moving path of the next operation indication mark from the path continuously connected with the moving path of the certain operation indication mark to another path extending from a predetermined position when a predetermined condition is satisfied; and a velocity calculating device implemented by the processing unit and configured to calculate a moving velocity of the operation indication mark based on a distance from an appearance position of the operation indication mark set in the game screen to an arrival position and an operation timing indicated in the sequence data, and wherein the position change device determines whether or not the predetermined condition has been satisfied based on the moving velocity of the certain operation indication mark calculated by the velocity calculating device.
