"New Puzzler Game Raises Diabetes Awareness, Offers Tough Challenge"

The power of gaming in raising awareness is often overlooked by many charities, despite its vast reach. While collaborations between charities and gaming releases are still relatively rare, they can be profoundly impactful, as demonstrated by the upcoming mobile game, Level One. This challenging, colorful puzzler, set to launch on iOS and Android on March 27th, is not just another game; it's a poignant narrative inspired by real-life experiences.

Developer Sam Glassenberg drew inspiration from his and his wife's journey in caring for their daughter JoJo, who was diagnosed with type-one diabetes. Glassenberg shares the intense balancing act they faced, managing constant insulin injections and meticulously tracking JoJo's diet. This personal story is at the heart of Level One, where the gameplay mirrors the relentless challenge of managing diabetes. With its demanding mechanics and the potential for a quick game over, the game effectively conveys the metaphor of living with this condition.

Raising Awareness

Level One's launch is bolstered by a partnership with the diabetes awareness charity, Breakthrough T1D Play. Founded by parents in the gaming industry who care for children with type-one diabetes, this charity aligns perfectly with the game's mission. With over nine million people globally affected by type-one diabetes, and 500,000 new diagnoses weekly, the need for increased awareness is clear.

Level One is poised to not only entertain but also educate its players. Mobile gamers, known for their appetite for challenging gameplay, are likely to find both enjoyment and insight in this colorful puzzler. As the game's store pages go live, it's an opportunity for players to engage with a game that promises to be as informative as it is entertaining.
