Charities often overlook the vast reach of gaming when it comes to raising awareness, despite the occasional but impactful collaborations with major game releases. One such compelling example is the upcoming mobile game, Level One, a vibrant and challenging puzzler set to launch on iOS and Android.
The concept for Level One was born from the personal experiences of developer Sam Glassenberg and his wife as they navigated the challenges of caring for their daughter JoJo, who was diagnosed with type-one diabetes. Glassenberg shares the demanding nature of managing JoJo's condition, which involved a delicate balance of insulin injections and vigilant monitoring of her diet.
Reflecting this reality, Level One is designed to be a tough game, with gameplay that requires intense focus and precision. A single moment of distraction can lead to failure, drawing a clear parallel to the constant vigilance required in managing diabetes.
**Raising Awareness** Level One's launch is supported by the diabetes awareness charity Breakthrough T1D Play, founded by parents in the gaming industry who have children with type-one diabetes. With over nine million people affected globally and 500,000 new diagnoses weekly, the game's mission to increase awareness is both timely and crucial.
Given mobile gamers' appetite for challenging gameplay, Level One is poised not only to educate but also to entertain. Mark your calendars for its release on March 27th, and be sure to check out the store pages when they go live to give it a try!
