Level One is a new awareness-raising puzzler about diabetes that provides quite the challenge

Level One, a challenging new puzzler launching March 27th on iOS and Android, offers a unique blend of gameplay and social impact. Inspired by developer Sam Glassenberg’s experience caring for his daughter with type-1 diabetes, the game’s demanding mechanics reflect the constant vigilance required in managing the condition. This poignant connection is further emphasized by Level One’s partnership with Breakthrough T1D Play, a diabetes awareness charity founded by parents in the gaming industry.

With over nine million people currently living with type-1 diabetes and 500,000 new diagnoses each week, raising awareness is crucial. Level One’s launch highlights the often-underestimated potential of gaming in charitable outreach. While collaborations between games and charities are still relatively uncommon, Level One demonstrates the powerful impact such partnerships can achieve.

The game’s colorful visuals belie its intensely challenging gameplay. Even brief lapses in concentration can lead to failure, creating a compelling metaphor for the constant attention required in managing type-1 diabetes.

Level One’s demanding yet rewarding gameplay, combined with its important message, promises to be both entertaining and informative. The game’s launch with the support of Breakthrough T1D Play underscores the growing recognition of gaming’s potential to reach and engage a wide audience for vital causes. Be sure to check the app stores on March 27th for its release!
