Talk:Off the Wall (1991 video game)

Brief description of this game

This will serve as a nutshell description of this game: The game features support for 1, 2 or 3 players, using either spinner knobs or joysticks. P1 and P2 occupy the left and right sides of the screen, respectively, and the third player (on some machines) occupies the bottom. Objective is to bounce a ball in Breakout style off a paddle and hit square blocks arranged in various shapes on the screen. An "Exit" block occupies a part of the screen (can change from level to level), and the player advances to the next level by getting the ball into this block. As the game progresses, powerups are introduced that increase the player's paddle size, slow down the ball, enable the paddle to fire, etc. New features are also introduced over time, such as blocks that move in circles or in random directions, blocks that parachute in from the top or fly in from the bottom to replace blocks that are destroyed, bombs, indestructible blocks, etc. Graphics are very colorful, with backgrounds often resembling abstract art (including Picasso-like paintings with eyes that track the ball). Players can put spin on the ball.

I wrote a review for this game a long time ago. While nothing official, it should give more of an idea as to what this game is about. Link here: [1] .
