A game apparatus has a touch panel for designating an arbitrary position within a screen on which a plurality of moving objects are arranged. A CPU repetitively detects the position designated via the touch panel, draws a line along the detected positions on the screen, every time that the detected position is in contact with any object within the screen, aligns the object on the line every time that the detected position is in contact with any object on the screen, moves the object aligned on the line to a trailing end direction of the line at a velocity Vwith the drawn line erasing from a leading end at a velocity V(&#x3e;V) and executes clearing processing in a case that an array of the objects on the line satisfies a matching condition with a goal condition array before the leading end of the line catches up with the object on the line.
