Glover 2
Developer: Interactive Studios Platform: Nintendo 64 This game has unused modes / minigames. This game has unused music. This game has debugging material. This game has a hidden level select. This game has a prototype article

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

  This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Glover 2 is, as you may have guessed, the sequel to Glover. Glover, the walking and now talking glove, sets off on another weird and wacky journey.

While the game was scrapped, several builds have since found their way online. This page covers what seems to be the latest build, which was acquired in October 2010 by Team Carrot and is estimated to be about 60% complete.

While the game is incomplete, it is decently playable with a somewhat functional story, though certain aspects of the game are unstable. 40 separate areas are available through the level select menu, and possibly more unlisted.

To do: Rip unused audio (missing theme?) and check for more balls. Add the build date if anyone is familiar with it. Post a fix for the Gypsy area since it crashes due to a pointer referencing something that isn't texture data.
