Abstract
A non-limiting example game apparatus includes a display device, and a game screen is displayed on the display device. For example, a player character, an enemy character, a background object, etc. are displayed in the game screen. If a throw mode is set, a target cursor is moved on a predetermined plane in a virtual space based on an operation of a player, thereby to designate a target object with which a throwing object is made to be collided. When the target object is designated, a route object is displayed on a line segment that connects a throw starting point and a target point that is the designated position on the target object, and a shadow of the route object is displayed.
