LÖVE is a framework that allows a developer to use Lua to create 2D games.[1] It is licensed under the zlib License and is therefore Free Software.

LÖVE wraps the functionality of many libraries, including OpenGL and Box2D, into a very simple API that is easy for new game programmers to learn. It targets simplicity, Cross-platform ability, and fun.

LÖVE supports many media formats, including PNG for graphics and OGG for sound.[2] The media files are generally embedded into a .LOVE file, which is a ZIP file containing the source files and data.

LÖVE also supports physics, networking, and particle generators.[2] Along with this, there are many libraries written in Lua to provide extra functionality, including Graphical User Interfaces and advanced networking.[2] They are generally licensed under permissive licenses such as the Public Domain.
