The gaming world is about to get a new, challenging puzzler named Level One, soon to be available on both iOS and Android. This game draws its inspiration from the real-life experiences of its developer, Sam Glassenberg, as he navigated the complexities of caring for his daughter JoJo, who was diagnosed with type-one diabetes. The daily challenges of balancing insulin injections and meticulous monitoring of JoJo's diet deeply influenced the game's design.
Level One's vibrant graphics belie its demanding gameplay, which requires intense focus and precision. A brief lapse in concentration can lead to a game over, effectively mirroring the constant vigilance required in managing diabetes. This metaphorical connection between the game's mechanics and the life of someone with type-one diabetes is both poignant and powerful.
**Raising Awareness**
In a significant move to amplify its message, Level One is launching in partnership with the diabetes awareness charity Breakthrough T1D Play. This charity, established by parents in the gaming industry who are also caregivers to children with type-one diabetes, underscores the game's mission to raise awareness. With over nine million people globally affected by type-one diabetes and 500,000 new diagnoses each week, the need for increased awareness and support is undeniable.
Level One is poised not only to raise awareness but also to captivate mobile gamers with its hardcore difficulty. Set for release on March 27th, this colorful puzzler promises to both entertain and educate. Be sure to watch for its store pages going live and give it a try!
