Off The Wall is an action game where you control Kung Fu Lu as his mission is to destroy a mysterious, evil wall by reflecting a bouncing ball into the bricks that make up the wall. When the bricks are hit by the ball, they are destroyed. On the top of the screen is a mystical dragon which guards the wall. Each level can be completed by either destroying all of the bricks in the wall, or hitting the dragon six times with the ball.
The gameplay involves using your paddle to reflect the ball and destroy the bricks. A blackbird will appear on screen just below the wall, making it harder for you to complete your mission. Occasionally, a magic token will fall downward which gives you special powers if caught. These can make the ball magnetic, give you a larger paddle, or make the ball explosive. As you progress through levels, your skill level will increase, and so will the difficulty of the game.
Game Over: You will lose a life every time the ball falls off the bottom of the screen, and the game ends when you lose all five lives. The Atari 2600 version was released in 1989 , and it is an Action & Adventure game.
