Android 2D/3D Game Engines

I wanted to choose some 2d game engine for creating 2D Space Shooter . It can be done for example in B4A but there it is more difficult because you must programming directly into Open GL ( note: look into Basic 4 Android - it is really great IDE for Android applications) or using accelerated surface/gameview which is good but not so powerful as full featured game engine. So I read a lot of info about game engines and made some notes about them. I didn't include Unity 3D or Shiva 3D because these engines are very good for 3D but for 2D I think it must be special engine.  Also I will list some game makers which has not only built-in game engine but also visual editor to make games with just no programming skills. So there are:

2D/3D Game Constructors:
Construct 2
Stencyl
GameSalad
Game Maker
Multimedia Fusion 2
Engine 001
Enigma Development
3D Game Studio
Game Editor
Tululoo Game Maker
GameDevelop
Wintermute Engine

2D Game Engines:
Marmalade
LibGDX
AndEngine
Corona
Gideros Mobile
Cocos-2D
Torque 2D
MOAI
App Game Kit / Freedom Engine
GLBasic
Emo Framework
Monkey (Blitz Basic)
Unity 4.3 and Up
Dreemchest
ImpactJS
Isogenic Engine

3D Game Engines:
Unity
Shiva 3D
JPCT-AE
JMonkey
SIO 2
UDK
Ardor 3D
Unigine
Havok Anarchy Project


For me I choose Gideros Mobile because it is very fast , more faster than Corona , it is LUA engine , LUA is very simple and fast. Gideros exports your project to Eclipse or xCode and there you can compile to its platform offline. Corona compiles on their own server. Gideros is free , there are paid versions but only if you want to remove their splash screen "made with Gideros". Gideros has wonderful particle engine , also various plugins for advertising.

Very good engine also is MOAI but it is more complicated , very powerful. It is completely free.
