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, a statistic underscored by Level One's partnership 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 managing type-1 diabetes. Despite its colorful, visually appealing design, Level One presents a truly difficult experience.

This collaboration highlights the often-underestimated potential of gaming for raising awareness. While partnerships between charities and major game releases remain relatively rare, Level One demonstrates the compelling narrative that can emerge when such collaborations occur. With 500,000 new type-1 diabetes diagnoses each week, the game's potential to reach a broad audience and raise awareness is significant.
Level One promises a compelling combination of challenging gameplay and impactful social messaging. Check the app stores on March 27th for its release. For more new game releases, explore our list of the top five new launches this week, featuring the best games from the past seven days.
