"Diabetes Awareness Puzzler 'Level One' Launches, Offers Unique Challenge"

by Eleanor May 03,2025

Charities often overlook the vast potential of gaming to raise awareness, yet when they do tap into it, the results can be truly captivating. This is exemplified by the upcoming vibrant and challenging puzzler, Level One, set to launch on iOS and Android. This game draws its inspiration from developer Sam Glassenberg's personal journey in caring for his daughter, JoJo, who was diagnosed with type-one diabetes.

Glassenberg shares the intense balancing act he and his wife faced, managing constant insulin injections and meticulously monitoring their daughter's diet. This experience is mirrored in the gameplay of Level One, which, despite its colorful graphics, presents a demanding challenge. Players must remain vigilant, as even a brief lapse in concentration can lead to a game over. The metaphor here is clear: managing type-one diabetes requires constant attention and precision.

Raising Awareness
Level One's launch is in partnership with the diabetes awareness charity, Breakthrough T1D Play, founded by gaming industry parents 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 critical.

I am confident that Level One will effectively raise awareness while providing an engaging experience for mobile gamers who crave hardcore challenges. The game is scheduled to release on March 27th for iOS and Android, so be sure to check the store pages when they go live and give it a try!
