Storage medium, game apparatus, game system, and game processing method

A game apparatus comprising:

• a display;
• and
• processing circuitry including at least a processor and a memory storing instructions for executing a racing game using a plurality of player objects operated by a plurality of users, respectively, in a virtual space, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to:
• select at least one option, from a plurality of options, relating to performance of a player object including at least both a first parameter relating to a crash avoidance time and a second parameter relating to movement performance, according to an operation input performed by a user;
• execute the racing game using the plurality of player objects based on performance of each player object determined based on the selected option;
• cause the player object to attack another player object in the racing game;
• cause the player object to temporarily crash due to an influence of the attack, wherein control of the player object is limited during temporarily crashing due to the influence of the attack;
• cause the crashed player object to transition to a crash avoidance state in which the crashed player object is forbidden to crash again due to an influence of at least one of attacks, for the crash avoidance time determined based on the first parameter;
• and
• generate a virtual space, displayable by the display, having one or more objects representing the plurality of player objects, wherein
• the first parameter corresponds to a ratio with respect to a reference crash avoidance parameter, and
• in the causing the crashed player object to transition to the crash avoidance state, the crash avoidance time is calculated by multiplying the reference crash avoidance parameter by the ratio corresponding to the first parameter.

A game system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions for executing a racing game using a plurality of player objects operated by a plurality of users, respectively, in a virtual space, wherein instructions, when executed, cause the game system to:
• select at least one option, from a plurality of options, relating to performance of a player object including at least both a first parameter relating to a crash avoidance time and a second parameter relating to movement performance, according to an operation input performed by a user;
• execute the racing game using the plurality of player objects based on performance of each player object determined based on the chosen option;
• cause the player object to attack another player object in the racing game;
• cause the player object to temporarily crash due to an influence of the attack, wherein control of the player object is limited during temporarily crashing due to the influence of the attack;
• cause the crashed player object to transition to a crash avoidance state in which the crashed player object is forbidden to crash again due to an influence of at least one of attacks, for the crash avoidance time determined based on the first parameter;
• and
• generate, for display, a virtual space having one or more objects representing the plurality of player objects, wherein
• the first parameter corresponds to a ratio with respect to a reference crash avoidance parameter, and
• in the causing the crashed player object to transition to the crash avoidance state, the crash avoidance time is calculated by multiplying the reference crash avoidance parameter by the ratio corresponding to the first parameter.
