Story

The game follows the story of Glover after the glove's wearer, a wizard, has an experiment go wrong and creates an explosion, throwing Glover out of the castle and turning himself to stone. Glover must save the threatened magic crystals by using his magic powers to turn them into balls. However, the balls are sealed in alternate worlds by evil magic. Without the crystals the overworld surrounding the castle becomes a desolate wasteland, haunted by the maniacal laughter of Cross-stitch, the evil glove from the wizard's other hand. He became evil when the explosion knocked him into the wizard's experiment, the boiling pot.

Gameplay

Crystals are rescued by guiding Glover and his ball around six worlds, each containing three levels, a boss and bonus stage. The ball can also be transformed into one of four (five with the Power Ball cheat) forms. These are the rubber ball, a metallic marble, bowling ball, crystal form and the Power Ball. The crystal form is very sensitive but is worth double points. There are also plenty of magic potions to help Glover with his quest by giving him power-ups.

Glover's ball can be rolled, bounced, thrown, slapped, or walked on top of. On water, the controls are reversed (except on easy difficulty). Glover can also collect cards (known as "Garibs") which allow him to access the bonus stages if he collects all of the Garibs in a given world.

Levels

Atlantis: This is a water level centered around ancient ruins. Glover will come across medieval sharks, and man-eating fish.

Carnival: This level takes place in a circus-themed environment in which Glover must avoid flying elephants, juggling roosters, and giant bumble bees.

Pirates: It is a water level filled with evil cannonballs, and a walking sword named Swish which Glover can control.

Prehistoric: This is a stone-age based level with dinosaurs.

Fortress of Fear: It is a scary level which takes place in spooky castles and fortresses. Glover will come across ghost witches which can transform him into a frog and his ball into a strange purple and red blob.

Out of this world: It is the last level in the game which takes place in a futuristic environment filled with deadly robots and spaceships.

The Balls

The Balls are the Crystals' transformed states. If a ball is destroyed it will result in the loss of a life. The Crystal has 3 transformations: The Rubber Ball - The standard ball used for moving around, The Metallic Marble - Used for attacking and for use in magnetic puzzles, The Bowling Ball - Used for attacking and for knocking down walls, The Crystal - The original, untransformed appearance of the crystals from the top of the castle, used to gain double points from collecting Garibs and Extra Lives.
