Level One, an upcoming challenging puzzler, is set to launch on iOS and Android, drawing inspiration from the personal experiences of developer Sam Glassenberg. The game's creation was spurred by Glassenberg's journey in caring for his daughter, JoJo, who was diagnosed with type-one diabetes. This condition, affecting over nine million people worldwide, requires meticulous management of diet and insulin injections, a balance that Glassenberg aimed to reflect in the game's demanding gameplay.
Despite its vibrant graphics, Level One is designed to be a test of skill and attention, mirroring the constant vigilance required in managing type-one diabetes. A single moment of inattentiveness can lead to a game over, effectively communicating the high stakes of the condition.
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 have children with type-one diabetes. This partnership underscores the game's mission to raise awareness about the condition, especially considering the staggering number of new diagnoses—500,000 each week.
Level One is poised to not only entertain but also educate its players about the realities of living with type-one diabetes. With its release scheduled for March 27th on iOS and Android, mobile gamers eager for a challenging experience should keep an eye out for its store page and give it a try.
