The gaming world is about to get a new addition that not only promises to challenge players but also aims to raise awareness about a critical health issue. Level One, a vibrant and demanding puzzler, is set to launch on iOS and Android on March 27th. This game draws its inspiration from the real-life experiences of developer Sam Glassenberg, who, along with his wife, navigated the complexities of caring for their daughter JoJo after her diagnosis with type-one diabetes.
Glassenberg's journey involved a delicate balancing act of managing insulin injections and meticulously monitoring JoJo's diet. This personal story is reflected in Level One's gameplay, which is designed to be as challenging as the daily management of diabetes. The game's colorful graphics belie its demanding nature, where a single moment of inattention can lead to a game over, mirroring the constant vigilance required in diabetes care.
Raising Awareness
Level One is not just a game; it's a mission to educate and inform. The launch is supported by Breakthrough T1D Play, a diabetes awareness charity founded by parents in the gaming industry who care for children with type-one diabetes. With over nine million people worldwide living with this condition and 500,000 new diagnoses each week, the need for awareness is urgent.
The collaboration between Level One and Breakthrough T1D Play underscores the potential of gaming as a powerful tool for raising awareness. As mobile gamers increasingly seek out challenging experiences, Level One is poised to both entertain and educate its audience. Keep an eye out for its release on March 27th, and be sure to check out the store pages when they go live.
