First Claim
1. A game device for executing a game in which a player performs a game operation to music, comprising:
- a reference timing data obtaining unit for obtaining reference timing data indicating a reference timing at which the player should perform the game operation from a storage which stores the reference timing data;
a guide unit for indicating the reference timing to the player by moving a guide image on a game screen from a generation position to a target position while changing a direction of the guide image in accordance with a beat of the music based on the reference timing data;
a game operation detector for detecting the game operation by the player; and
an evaluator for evaluating the game operation by the player, based on an operation timing at which the player performs the game operation and the reference timing indicated by the reference timing data.

Abstract
Provided is a game device capable of enabling a user to more readily perceive the rhythm of music when playing a game in which the player performs a game operation to the music. In the game configured so that the player performs the game operation to the music, based on reference timing data indicating a reference timing at which the player should perform the game operation, a game device indicates the reference timing to the player by moving a guide image on a game screen from a generation position to a target position while changing a direction of the guide image in accordance with a beat of the music.
