"Diabetes Awareness Puzzler 'Level One' Launches, Offers Tough Challenge"

by Gabriella Mar 28,2025

Level One, an engaging and challenging new puzzler, is set to launch on iOS and Android, drawing inspiration from developer Sam Glassenberg's personal experiences in caring for his daughter JoJo, who was diagnosed with type-one diabetes. This game aims to raise awareness about the condition, which affects over nine million people worldwide, and is launched in partnership with the diabetes awareness charity Breakthrough T1D Play.

The gaming industry's potential to amplify awareness efforts is often overlooked by charities, despite the vast reach of mobile gaming. Level One stands as a testament to the power of this medium, blending entertainment with education. The game's vibrant graphics belie its demanding gameplay, which requires constant attention and mirrors the meticulous care needed in managing type-one diabetes. Glassenberg and his wife faced a similar balancing act with JoJo's insulin injections and dietary monitoring, a reality the game seeks to convey through its challenging mechanics.

Breakthrough T1D Play, founded by parents in the gaming industry who manage children with type-one diabetes, supports Level One's mission. With 500,000 new diagnoses each week, the need for awareness and support is pressing. Level One not only promises to entertain mobile gamers who crave hardcore difficulty but also aims to inform them about the realities of living with type-one diabetes.

Mark your calendars for March 27th when Level One hits the app stores. Whether you're a puzzle enthusiast or simply looking to support a meaningful cause, this game is worth trying. Keep an eye on the store pages as they go live and dive into this unique gaming experience.
