Just to note, Kivy didn't evolve from a game engine, it began as PyMT (of which it's a spiritual successor) which was a gui toolkit targeting multitouch and NUI. In fact, the support for Android and iOS came later, and they work because the original design of the toolkit, with flexible backend providers and an opengl interface, did work out well for cross-platform use.

My bad! I assumed it was based on pygame since the pygame provider was so integral to Kivy before the SDL migration.
