Hi
I am 2d mobile game maker and actually bored from Unity3D. It is so heavy but easy to handle visual objects.

I tried löve2d and realiesed that is so good and perfect for 2d game making.

My question is löve2d is appropriate frameworks for mobile(android and ios)?

For iOS, it takes a bit of work to make things run on it.
As for android (with a few changes), raspberry pi, windows, linux, macOS... You code once and run everywhere.

So, yes, very appropriate.

You can program the game in LOVE and run it as a desktop app. Then once you got something worth stress-testing, you can use the LOVE android app and just transfer the files over to your phone and launch it from that app, without having to compile it to an .APK.

My phone (Nexus 6) doesn't do that on its own either. I have to use a third-party file manager (ES File Explorer is one which works) to open .love files with LÖVE.
