Level One is a new awareness-raising puzzler about diabetes that provides quite the challenge

The mobile gaming world is about to get a new challenging puzzler titled Level One, set to launch on iOS and Android on March 27th. This game draws its inspiration from the personal experiences of its developer, Sam Glassenberg, who, alongside his wife, navigated the complexities of caring for their daughter JoJo after her type-one diabetes diagnosis. Glassenberg's story of managing the delicate balance of insulin injections and monitoring JoJo's diet and hydration forms the heart of Level One.

Despite its vibrant graphics, Level One promises to be a demanding game where a mere moment of inattention can result in a game over. This design choice serves as a metaphor for the constant vigilance required in managing type-one diabetes, making the game not just a source of entertainment but also a powerful tool for raising awareness about the condition.

Raising Awareness
Level One's launch is in partnership with the diabetes awareness charity Breakthrough T1D Play. This charity was established by parents in the gaming industry who have children with type-one diabetes. The collaboration highlights the game's mission to educate the public about a condition that affects over nine million people worldwide, with an additional 500,000 new diagnoses each week.

With its release, Level One is poised to not only entertain mobile gamers with its hardcore difficulty but also to serve as an impactful awareness tool. As the store pages go live, keep an eye out and give it a try to experience both the challenge and the message it carries.
