The Allegro community has produced a lot of great tutorials and resources.

Allegro Wiki, Mike Geig's Allegro Tutorials, Rachel Morris' Tutorials, CodingMadeEasy's Tutorials.

Support for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iPhone, and Android

Allegro is well designed, easy to use and has many useful features.

Since it has been in development since mid-90s with hundreds of people contributing to both the engine and documentation, it has all of its bases covered when it comes to standard support.

Allegro uses DirectX for Windows, and OpenGL for other targets.

You are not bound to the limits of existing game engines, and you can actually implement your own engine.

WiMi5 integrates a powerful visual scripting solution based on Blackboxes that allows you to create the logic flow of the game. You don't have to code (if you don't want) but you can also do it. WiMi5's actions and behaviors resemble flowcharts where each box represents a function or value, with connections between them representing program flow. This provides a better at-a-glance indication of game logic than a simple list of events, and makes complex behaviors easier to accomplish.

WiMi5 provides integrated back-end services, with tools available to save game session data, manage rankings, etc.

The WiMi5 platform is free to use, supported by post-publication royalties.

WiMi5 provides features to manage in-app purchases and micropayments. Virtual Goods management is integrated into the Logic Editor.

WiMi5 maintains partnerships allowing simultaneous publication to a number of Web and mobile stores, all managed through the WiMi5 platform.

Games can also be downloaded and publish it wherever you want: in your own server or with your own partners. Just check the Download feature in the settings of your game.
