I am about to start on a project which, at a minimum needs to go out to android and ios. Are there any game engines other then Unity which can publish to both? I fear that Unity3d might be more overhead then we need for what is essentially a 2d game.

Another one I've discovered on my own is Corona SDK which looks more focused for 2D but requires a subscription instead of a one time fee. After 2 years getting an ios and android liscense would be better price-wise and leaves the potential for additional build targets in the future. – lathomas64 Dec 18 '11 at 14:03
MonoGame and ExEn. – Den Dec 18 '11 at 14:10
UDK can also be used, but it can be difficult if your programming skills isn't that good. – Psykocyber Dec 18 '11 at 16:19

Those I know about are:

Unity3D: A good 3D game engine, which is well known.
Cocos2d-x: A C++ port of the Cocos2d engine for iPhone, which is a fully-featured 2D game engine.
UDK: Another 3D game engine, which provides professional 3D tools at cost of being a little hard to learn.
Corona SDK: I didn't test this one but I've read it's name in many threads (as well as comments here).
Unigine: This one is also a 3D game engine which lets you develop games using c++ language (and UnigineScript).
Airplay SDK: Another game engine (which seems to focus on 2D games) with support for almost all types of mobile devices.

Airplay would be perfect if it weren't for the yearly pricing structure as opposed to a one time fee like unity. Won't be using it for this but may use it in the future, thanks! – lathomas64 Dec 23 '11 at 17:37
