A fast-paced food fight where your score isn’t the only number that matters. Inspired by diabetes management, you’ll keep your blood sugar in range as you blast falling foods, trigger power-ups, and chase the perfect run. Arcade fun with a purpose.
Hey folks, I’m Alex 👋🏾
I’ve been working on a side project that merges my love of retro games with a meaningful challenge: diabetes awareness.
Blood Sugar Battler is a mobile web game where you balance your blood sugar while blasting falling foods. Healthy foods lower your levels, junk foods raise them, and you’ll need to time power-ups to stay in range. The game ends if you go too low or too high.
It started as a creative experiment and became something more personal — a way to explore how design, play, and a little (or a lotta) help from AI coding tools can make a serious subject approachable.
A few details I’m proud of:
• A classic Mac-inspired interface and crafted pixel art. That took the most time.
• Arcade mechanics with combos, multipliers, and score popups
• Power-ups like Exercise and Sugar Rush to shift your levels
• Sound effects. That's it. That's the feature. Hey it was really hard to get that working!
• Works right in your browser on desktop or mobile
• Optional install as a PWA so it lives on your home screen like an app
I’d love for you to give it a try, 👉 Play it here: https://bloodsugarbattler.app
