Play Walls Are Optional
One target. Paper walls. Three sticks of dynamite.
Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.
Play free nowA short cinematic shows your target, Mister Koi, and then the job is yours: find him somewhere in a Japanese garden at night. A marker counts down the meters, but nothing says you have to use the paths. The paper walls break, so a stick of dynamite turns any wall into a door. Among games like Hitman, this one skips the disguises and hands you a gun, a fuse and a straight line to the target, in first person in the Roam app on iPhone.
Controls for the contract
- Drag on the left side to move; the screen reminds you with 'Drag to move' on your first go.
- Hold the fire button to shoot, and tap reload when the ammo bar runs low.
- Throw dynamite (you carry three) to blast a hole through the paper walls.
- Jump over low cover, follow the distance marker and take down Mister Koi.
Why the walls matter
- Destructible paper walls, so the map has no fixed route
- Gun plus dynamite: take the long way round or make a shortcut
- A night garden with a pond and lanterns, lit for mood
- A clear goal from the start: a name, a marker, a distance
If you are after games like Hitman
The Hitman series is about one target, one map and many ways in. Walls Are Optional keeps that frame: a contract, a named mark, a place to search. Where it differs is speed. There is no outfit swapping or long planning. You read the marker, pick a wall and decide whether it stays standing.
It is also a mobile shooter first. Health sits at 100, cash starts at $0, and the whole fight is built around thumbs: one to move, one to shoot.
Tips for your first contract
Save the dynamite. Three sticks feel like a lot until you meet the third wall between you and the target. Use the marker distance to judge which walls are worth blowing up.
The scene is dark, so move a few steps, stop and look. Lanterns and the pond give you landmarks when the paper walls start to look alike.

Walls Are Optional FAQ
Is Walls Are Optional free to play?
Yes. The contract, the gun and all three sticks of dynamite cost nothing; you play it in the Roam app on iPhone.
Is it one of the games like Hitman?
Close in setup: you take a contract on a named target and hunt him through one map. It plays faster and louder than Hitman, with a gun and dynamite instead of disguises.
Who is Mister Koi?
Your target. The game shows him in a short intro, then sets the goal 'Find Mister Koi' with a marker that tracks how far away he is.
Can you really break the walls?
Yes. The garden is built from paper walls you can blast through with dynamite, which is where the name comes from.
