Glycohero - Blood Sugar Game

Run, jump, and battle blood sugar bosses. Learn how food and exercise affect glucose through gameplay, not lectures. No ads. No tracking. Free to start.

Glycohero is a 2D platformer game that teaches blood sugar management without lecturing.

Jump, run, and exercise your way through themed levels and boss fights. Eat the right foods to keep your blood sugar in the safe zone. Eat the wrong foods? Watch the meter spike. Skip a meal? Watch it crash.

WHAT'S IN THE GAME • Themed levels with progressive difficulty, each ending in a boss fight • Bosses tied to real-world challenges: sugary drinks, fast food, late-night snacking, and more • A flashcard library covering blood sugar basics, food and nutrition, exercise, and daily lifestyle habits — all written from established diabetes-education sources. Clickable source links are provided on each flashcard so you can easily check details • Multiple playable characters with different abilities

WHAT'S EDUCATIONAL ABOUT IT The blood sugar mechanic is grounded in real glycemic index (GI) and carbohydrate values. Both what you eat and the order you eat it in shape your blood-sugar curve — fibre and protein before refined carbs, for example, gives you pills to attack your enemies and invincible shields. The game encourages thoughtful food choices and lets players feel these patterns through play instead of only reading about them.

Exercise reduces blood sugar in the game. You cannot exercise on the move, and there's a cooldown, mirroring how the body actually responds.

WHAT'S NOT IN THE GAME No ads. No data collection. No tracking. No social login. No accounts. Glycohero collects nothing about you on iOS. Your blood sugar in the game is private, like the real thing should be. Your progress is stored on your device.

WHO IT'S FOR • People with prediabetes, type 1 or type 2 diabetes who want a friendlier way to learn the mechanics. • Parents, family members, teachers, school nurses, and caregivers learning the basics. • Anyone curious about how blood sugar actually responds to food and exercise.

The game is honest education wrapped in a casual-platformer loop — not a medical device, not a replacement for clinical advice, not a substitute for talking to your doctor.
