Ok random question. Anybody know what engines or frameworks most of these phone games use? I actually wanna play around with those a little.
All the games listed here on the Zone have a label regarding their engines: Unreal, Unity, Ren'Py, RPGM, etc.
Those using compiled engines like Unreal & Unity, you'll likely need those DEV kits installed _and_ find a de-compiler that can render out semi-sensible code output. Decompiles tend to lack comments and meaningful variables, function names, etc. so you'll need to know those languages (like C#) /toolkits.

Others like Ren'Py basically unpack like an archive. These are the easiest to learn from (just like the HTML/Javascript games.)

As for RPGM, I suspect they are in the middle ground. If there are GameMaker games, I suspect they'll be like RPGM in their decompiles. IIRC, these tend to be tokenized / bytecode so decompilers likely exist, but I don't know of any.

It might be worthwhile for you head over the Zone's Developer forums. There's lots of knowledge there.
