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 awareness. Inspired by developer Sam Glassenberg's experience caring for his daughter with type-one diabetes, the game reflects the constant vigilance and precision required in managing the condition. Over nine million people worldwide live with type-one 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 lapses in concentration lead to failure, serves as a powerful metaphor for the challenges faced by those managing type-one diabetes. Despite its colorful visuals, Level One is designed to be intensely challenging, mirroring the constant balancing act of insulin management and dietary monitoring.

This collaboration highlights the often-underestimated potential of gaming for raising awareness about important health issues. While partnerships between charities and major game releases are still relatively uncommon, Level One demonstrates the powerful impact such collaborations can have. With over nine million people currently living with type-one diabetes and 500,000 new diagnoses each week, this partnership is a significant step towards increasing understanding and support.

Level One's challenging gameplay, combined with its vibrant aesthetic, promises an engaging experience that both entertains and informs. Be sure to check the app stores on March 27th for its release.
