CAPTAIN LANTUS When Max was six years old, he had one idea: he wanted children with diabetes to feel like superheroes. Max was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at eighteen months old. He knows what it is to check, to count, to correct, and to carry on anyway. So he invented a hero who does the same thing and wins. This game is his idea, made real. THE STORY Beta Town is a sunny place where everybody has Type 1 Diabetes, and that is what makes it special. At its centre sits the Insulin Cube, a glittering rainbow cube that keeps everyone's blood sugar perfectly balanced. When King Carb and his Carbonites steal it, the whole town falls. Only Max is left. He presses a secret insulin pump to his stomach, spins, and becomes CAPTAIN LANTUS. YOUR BLOOD SUGAR IS YOUR POWER Captain Lantus does not have a health bar. He has a blood glucose meter, and it is the heart of the game. Stay in range and go SUPER CHARGED: faster, stronger, double points. Go too high and you slow down, so use an insulin capsule or sprint hard to burn the sugar off. Go too low and grab a glucose pack. Touch a festival sweet and your sugar spikes. Out of range is never a failure and never a telling-off. You slow down, you fix it, you carry on. That is the whole idea: managing your blood sugar makes you powerful, not punished. WHAT YOU DO - Run, jump, double-jump and sprint through three colourful levels - Fire blue energy bursts at the Carbonites, and hit harder while you are in range - Rescue trapped townspeople and free Mayor Bolus - Dodge boss stomps and shockwaves - Collect coins, insulin, and glucose packs - Beat King Carb and the Toffee Titan CLIMB THE LEADERBOARD Pick a fun gamertag and post your best scores to the online leaderboard. The faster you finish, the bigger your speed bonus, so a quick, clever run can beat a slower one. Compare your scores with players everywhere at captainlantus.com. SAFE FOR CHILDREN No adverts. No third-party tracking. No sign-up. The only thing you share is a nickname you choose for the leaderboard, never your real name. BASED ON THE BOOK The Adventures of Captain Lantus Created by Max Rapson, age 6 Written by Gary Rapson Developed by Meyer Digital Co For every child who has been told they are different, and deserves to know they are a superhero.
