Abstract
A game device (2) executes a video game in which a hammer image (52) displayed on a display device (4) is moved based on an operational signal. The hammer image (52) corresponds to a controller (3), and the operational signal indicates acceleration detected by an acceleration sensor (21) embedded in the controller (3). Additionally, the game device (2) includes an operation-target object control section (32). The operation-target object control section (32) displays an enlarged hammer image (52′) instead of the hammer image (52) when at least either of the acceleration indicated by the operational signal or moving speed of the controller (3) computed based on the acceleration falls within a predetermined range.
