AGen

AGen is a project very similar to LÖVE. It has a built-in scene graph, spatial partitioning, physics and more. Ivan, the creator, can elaborate further if he wants! (He's on this forum).

LuaPlayer -- It has support for PSPs supposedly. I haven't tried it on mine, yet. I really can't afford to replace it and I don't want to brick my PSP.

Brain Damage:

http://codetank.com/wiki/index.php/Brain_Damage

This is a full IDE for writing and debugging lua scripts. It's windows-native, and has pretty decent graphics and input support. It's very app-friendly - I've written several function (non-sexy) tools through it. And the debugging functionality is really top-notch.

It has no audio support, and the draw routines can be a bit primitive. I had to script a double-buffer rendering routine to get any decent game-style outputs. But that was actually pretty straightforward.

Unfortunately, it seems like Brain Damage was put together in about 12 months, and in the last 6 months or so there has been no activity. So I'm not holding my breath for more functionality.

Brain Damage uses a much more "vanilla" style of lua, as opposed to love, which heaps tons of unique calls. Both good styles, but different.
