There's this thing called C++ which happens to work on all mobile platforms. I could understand having difficulty making a cross-platform app that needs deep OS integration but a game is the very definition of cross-platform.

C++ also happens to be the quasi standard language of game development. Even the typical scripting languages (Lua, JavaScript) are supported on the major platforms.

  Mono runs pretty much everywhere too, for when you're comfortable pitching some performance for ease of use.

    Don't you have to pay Xamarin to run C# on Android commercially?

      Sure, but who cares? Four hundred bucks is nothing if you're working commercially. There are way better criticisms of Xamarin than the price.
