BlitzMax - the best for 2D cross platform games?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/BlitzMax - the best for 2D cross platform games?

I've written one small game in BlitzMax and am mainly interested in doing 2D games in the future. I've looked around at alternatives, but haven't found anything that fits the bill better than BlitzMax.

My must have requirements are:
- Fast development times
- Hardware accelerated graphics (OpenGL/DirectX)
- Cross platform (Linux/OSX/Windows...maybe more)
- Preferably compiles to a standalone executable

Is BlitzMax simply the best tool for me?
