Computer program product, storage medium, information processing system, and game processing method

Abstract

Provided are a computer program product, a storage medium, an information processing system, and a game processing method. The information processing system causes the player object to travel in a direction corresponding to the direction operation input by the user when the player object is on a normal road provided in the virtual space. When the player object is on a predetermined object provided in the virtual space, the information processing system causes the player object to travel in a direction along the predetermined object. While the player object travels on the predetermined object, the information processing system causes the player object to perform a jumping operation in which the player object jumps in a direction away from the predetermined object in accordance with a first operation input by the user. The information processing system causes the player object to travel in a favorable travel state that is favorable in the racing game at least after the player object has landed from the jumping action.
