OFF THE WALL(TM) (1 OR 2 PLAYERS)
Far away in the Mysterious East on the other side of the world, there lived an adventurous lad named
Kung Fu Lu. Lu's grand longing was to crush the ancient, evil wall that plagued his friendly neighbors.
Guarding the wall was a mystical dragon and a cunning blackbird. The dragon would cast balls at
brave Lu. If Lu successfully deflected them with his staff, he gained good fortune and special powers. If he
missed a ball, it cost him one of his five lives he was granted as a child. The frightful blackbird tried to
prevent Kung Fu Lu from destroying the wall, but Lu remained undaunted and continued on until he
smashed the last remaining brick.
Blazing Brickbats and Blackbirds!
The objective in Off The Wall is to score the highest number of points. Play against another player or
try to beat your best score. Score points by using the ball to knock bricks out of the wall, hitting the dragon
beyond the bricks, or catching the Mystery Token for bonus points. When the player clears four brick
waves, he automatically advanced to the next skill level.
Using the controller, the player must position Lu in the path of the falling ball. Lu uses his staff to
deflect the ball back to the brick wall to break out bricks. If Lu misses a ball, he loses a life.
In each game the player starts with five lives. The number of lives remaining displays in the upper left
hand corner of the screen, with one square for each remaining life. If you break out all the bricks, or hit the
dragon six times, the wave finishes and you receive another life. Each time you hit the dragon, the
background behind the bricks becomes lighter.
Two-Player Game
In a two-player game, each player takes a turn. The first player begins breaking out bricks until he
misses a ball and loses a life. The second player continues with the same brick field, knocking out bricks
until he misses. The game continues, moving into higher skill levels until each player runs out of lives.
Blackbird
After the first wave on the Peasant level, a Blackbird appears. The bird tries to fly between the bricks
and the ball. If the ball hits the bird, the bird deflects the ball back to Lu.
Special Power Tokens
After you hit the ball the first time, different tokens begin dropping at random. If Lu catches a token,
he receives special powers. Each token has its own special power. Lu keeps these special powers until he
misses a ball or the token timer (a bar graph in the upper right corner) runs out.
Zig Zag (Z)
This token makes the ball travel in a zig zag pattern after being hit by Lu. On the way down, the ball
travels in a normal, straight path.
