Anyone with an iDevice, or at least an emulator? Anyone with a Windows mobile device? As much as I prioritize crossplatform support, I too only have Android.

Well, this is Android specific, but Michal Kottman's AndroLua gets Lua
cooking using LuaJava to interface with Dalvik.
I've run with this ball and added a simple framework that makes
writing Android Lua apps much easier. This framework comes with a
plot library - here is an example of the style:

The results on my Nexus 7 look like this:

There's an APK with this as one of the demos here:

The focus with AndroLua is not cross-platform gaming, but quick
Android app generation. Cross-platform is a whole other kettle of
fish and for that we would have to get a team together, since I don't
know or do iOS.
