The story is about some wizard guy that mixes two potions wrong and everything goes haywire, the wizard turns into stone, the crystals keeping the kingdom colorful are gone and one of his magical gloves turn evil named Cross-Stitch, and you are the nice glove named Glover.

Gameplay:

The gameplay is a platformer, you can control Glover with or without his ball, controlling Glover by himself is fine, you can double jump, ground pound, and use a cartwheel, the weird thing is the cartwheel is not in the PS1 version which i own. Controlling Glover with the ball is a bit annoying sometimes, escpically when he slides around everywhere, you can dribble the ball but it's delayed a bit, you can throw the ball which throws it up high but not reach, you can slap it with gets a better reach but no height. You can transform your ball to, one is a Bowling ball which is use to break glass or walls, it can sink in water but you can't dribble it, even though in the PS1 version you can... i don't get it. You can also turn it into a marble, it moves faster than the bowling ball, you can dribble it and it can sink, it's also used to put on magnets to activate switches. You can also turn it into one of the cyrstals, you can use it to collecting these ticket things along the ground for double points, but if you dribble or throw the cyrstal it will break and you lose a life. Speaking of those tickets you can find collectables around the worlds. One of the items are tickets, there's usually 80 in each world, collect 80 to get an extra life. There are also extra lives everywhere since the platforming is hard to do, well with the ball, the ball is annoying to get across platforms because the ball might bounce around everywhere so you want to be careful. Also the camera sucks, well in the PS1 version at least, the camera can get stuck on some areas and it's annoying to turn it around fully, escpically in the haunted house stages where there are walls everywhere. There are 6 worlds in the game, the boring ones being Atlantis and Pirates, there just water stages. The most annoying one is the Cavman stage, the first stage is snowy and there is a slope in the middle of the stage where snowballs roll down and if you get stuck in it you will fly back or get send all the way back to the bottom. And theres also lava in the stage which kills you and your ball instantly. My favorite level though is the space level which is the last level, i liked it because it was the easyiest and there was no gravity so i can jump super high. The bosses in this game are easy or hard, easier ones being a clown or the harder ones being the frankstein monster, god i hate that boss, no matter what version it's in it's so annoying, you have to push platforms down with your ground pound but also avoiding attacks and protecting you ball. There are also some powerups in the game to, one makes Glover super big, strong, and fast. One where he's a helicopter but freakin hard to control, and sticky shoes which makes him walk on ceilings. There are other ones but there not super good.

Graphics:

The graphics look great, even though Glover doesn't look like a glove because he only have 4 fingers. The stages look nice and fit everything well, except the draw distance is not that good, but it's not a problem like 98% of the time.

Sound/Music:

The music in this game is great, nothing sounds to annoying or to loud, everything is nice and calm. The sound effects are find to consisting of cartoon sound effects, but Glover sounds weird when he does his first jump, he sounds like he's in pain or something when he jumps.

Final Verdict:

Glover is a good game with great graphics, great music, good controls, and ok story. The downsides were the ball was annoying to control sometimes and the camera didn't help to much.
