What Hacker News says?
Speaking of RoboVM, sounds like it is making very good progress [1]. And can't beat its price of free. LibGDX is using RoboVM these days instead of Xamarin, due to the price. Also anecdotally they found RoboVM runs even faster than Xamarin [2], despite being a young project.

HN discussionIf I could possibly offer an alternative to MonoGame, perhaps try libgdx game framework with MonoTouch. Libgdx is a very well developed framework for Java, but the creator has also put together guides on how to use it with Monotouch.
