Diabetes Awareness: New Puzzle Game Launches

Author:Kristen Update:Mar 12,2025

Level One, a challenging new puzzler launching March 27th on iOS and Android, offers a unique blend of gameplay and awareness. Inspired by developer Sam Glassenberg's experience caring for his daughter with type-1 diabetes, the game reflects the constant vigilance and precision required in managing the condition. Over nine million people worldwide live with type-1 diabetes, and Level One's launch partners with Breakthrough T1D Play, a diabetes awareness charity founded by parents in the gaming industry.

The game's demanding gameplay, where even brief inattention can lead to failure, serves as a powerful metaphor for the challenges faced by those living with type-1 diabetes. Despite its colorful visuals, Level One presents a significant challenge, mirroring the constant balancing act of managing the disease.

This collaboration highlights the untapped potential of gaming for raising awareness. While partnerships between charities and major game releases remain relatively uncommon, Level One demonstrates the powerful impact such collaborations can have. With over nine million people currently diagnosed and 500,000 new diagnoses each week, raising awareness is a crucial mission.

Level One promises to be both entertaining and informative, appealing to mobile gamers who enjoy a hardcore challenge. Check the app stores on March 27th for its release.
