Honestly? Pretty cool game. Doesn't deserve all the flak it gets.

My biggest mandela effect is that I remember the first Clown level to be mirrored to how it actually is.

I thought that maybe there is a mirror mode cheat that I used as a kid but no there isn't. True Nelson Mandela Moment right here.

First of all, I could never get into the n64 original because the control scheme is way too confusing, for example in the n64 version, you jump with a certain button and after you carry the ball you jump with a different one- here they are the same buttons, also the controls aren't inverted when you ride the ball. Just the control changes already make the game much more accessible for me, even if other aspects like the performance are worse due to ps1 specs.

As for the game itself, its surprisingly fun and creative, the idea is already very unique, but there are a lot of unique obstacles and gimmicks for each world to keep the game interesting. Sadly there are problems with camera and collision like most early 3d platformers that take away some of the enjoyment, but overall I had a good time with ps1 Glover.

The Playstation port of Glover misses the mark in nearly every way, the levels are all weirdly sized and sometimes you'll feel like a giant while others you'll feel like an ant. The controls are somehow less user friendly than the N64/PC and the game feels more sluggish on the whole. Only worth checking out if you're a fan of the original version.
