Love (stylized as LOVE) is a platform game developed and published by American indie developer Fred Wood. It was originally released in May 2008,[1] exclusively to the game's website,[2] but was later released as an enhanced version entitled Love+ on February 7, 2014 to Early Access,[3] with its final release being on February 14, 2014.[4] For the game's fifth anniversary, it was released on Nintendo Switch on February 14, 2019.
The game's art style is minimalistic; every level in the game has only three colors: black, white, and a custom third that varies each level, where white serves to indicate interactive objects, black serves as the background, and the third color makes the platforms. The game also carries a pixel art style.
On November 7, 2017, a sequel titled LOVE 2: kuso was released, which includes all sixteen main levels from Love+. A third entry in the series, LOVE 3, was released on December 7, 2021 and includes all levels from the previous games.[5]

I'm going back to the well on ideas that I didn't know how to implement before, and make a challenging, fun game for folks who love challenging platformers and people who are unfamiliar with them" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
