[casual_games] Salutations. Seeking Recommendation for an Android/iPhone Game Development Platform for a Multiplayer Card Game...

[Miguel Portilla]

Oscar,

We are using Flex AS3 (uses the Flash player) for our current game, 
which has been in development for nearly two years. I recommend you 
avoid Flash. We haven't ported to the mobiles yet but the feedback I've 
received from other developers who have is that It is bloated, slow and 
buggy. I personally cannot recommend the platform for desktop usage 
either. The platform has many issues and Adobe support is virtually 
non-existent, their roadmap is worse.
