The Rise of Mobile Gaming: Why Love and Deepspace Has Players Hooked
The mobile gaming market has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the stunning Infinity Nikki, which captivated players worldwide with its high-quality gameplay and multi-platform availability as a free-to-play title in late 2024, to the cozy and enchanting Cats & Soup, which has charmed mobile gamers since 2021. These games prove that free-to-play models can thrive when done right. Players are more than willing to support well-crafted games through in-game purchases.
But in 2024, one game, in particular, has taken the world by storm: Love and Deepspace.

model.
Of course, I’ll admit, I’m definitely biased as a huge fan. But that just makes my curiosity even stronger!
