What I did in the game: 100% completed.
The One Picture I have taken: File Select screen.
After Croc, I wanted to complete another less popular 3D platformer from this era. It was between this and the Gex Collection, but Glover had a discount at that time, so here I am. To be frank, I never have played this game before. I've heard some things about it in the past, but not much else. So I didnt knew what to expect. So, you're a walking Glove, and you have to bring a shape-shifting ball to the exit of each level. Without the ball you have very limited moves. You can double-jump and crawl. That's it. But with the ball, you can dribble, throw it, walk on it, do bounding jump, you can change the shape of the ball to be a bowling ball, a tiny small metal ball, or a fragile emerald to get more points. Unfortunately the ball is more fragile than you, and if it's destroyed, you'll lose a life. At first, I thought this would be really annoying, but the more I was playing it, the more addicted I became. I'm guessing this one was for the N64, so yes there's a lot of janks and glitches here and there. But the developper really managed to make an unique 3D Platformer in a time where everything was just Super Mario 64. Completing the game meant to collect every cards in every levels, which will unlock a bonus level in every worlds. You then also collect every cards in the bonus level, and if you do all that, you'll reach 100%. Some of those cards were really well hidden, sometimes behind bad textured N64 walls, so it was hard to know which ones were real or fake. I admit that I had to check twice on Youtube for the location of some cards. Other than that, the difficulty was just perfect, and I had a blast completing it. If you have some N64 nostalgia and would like to try a different take on 3D platformer, this one is for you!
