"New Puzzler Game Raises Diabetes Awareness with Challenging Gameplay"

Author:Kristen Update:Apr 04,2025

The gaming world is set to see a new challenging puzzler, Level One, launching on iOS and Android. This game draws its inspiration from the personal 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. The game encapsulates the delicate balancing act of managing this condition, reflecting the constant need for insulin injections and vigilant monitoring of JoJo's diet.

Despite its vibrant graphics, Level One promises to be a demanding experience, where even a brief lapse in concentration could result in a game over. This challenging gameplay serves as a metaphor for the meticulous care required in managing type-one diabetes.

Raising Awareness

The launch of Level One is supported by Breakthrough T1D Play, a diabetes awareness charity founded by parents in the gaming industry who are also caring for children with type-one diabetes. With over nine million people worldwide living with this condition and approximately 500,000 new diagnoses each week, the mission to raise awareness is crucial.

Level One is poised to not only entertain mobile gamers with its hardcore difficulty but also to educate them about type-one diabetes. The game is scheduled for release on March 27th, available on both iOS and Android platforms. Be sure to watch for when the store pages go live and give it a try!
