QUByte Interactive, in collaboration with Physical Mania (Piko Interactive’s physical release division), has announced that this beloved title is getting a physical release on PlayStation 4, alongside a broader digital launch across modern consoles.
Originally released in 1998, Glover quickly garnered a cult following thanks to its unique gameplay mechanics and whimsical world. You play as a magical glove tasked with guiding a bouncing ball through a variety of imaginative levels, solving puzzles and battling enemies along the way.
