Charities often overlook the vast potential of gaming when it comes to raising awareness, but the upcoming mobile game Level One is a shining example of how impactful such collaborations can be. This challenging new puzzler, set to launch on iOS and Android, draws inspiration from developer Sam Glassenberg's personal experiences in caring for his daughter, JoJo, after her diagnosis with type-one diabetes.

Glassenberg's journey involved a delicate balancing act of administering insulin injections and meticulously tracking his daughter's intake of food and drink. This intense experience is mirrored in Level One, where the vibrant graphics belie the game's demanding nature. Players must remain highly focused, as even the slightest distraction can lead to a game over, effectively communicating the metaphor of managing diabetes.

Raising Awareness
Level One's launch is supported by the diabetes awareness charity Breakthrough T1D Play, founded by parents in the gaming industry who care for children with type-one diabetes. With over nine million individuals living with this condition and 500,000 new diagnoses weekly, the mission to raise awareness is critical.

Given the mobile gaming community's appetite for challenging gameplay, Level One is poised to not only entertain but also educate its players. The game is scheduled for release on March 27th for iOS and Android, so be sure to watch for when the store pages go live and give it a try.
