If you've used Scratch before, this is a perfect next step.  It's still simple to use, but you can create much more sophisticated games, and even commercial games.  You'll learn all aspects of game design from graphics and sound to AI enemies, adding two-player controls, collectable game items and more as you create your own customised maze game.  More importantly the coding concepts you learn will be transferrable to other languages and systems, making this a perfect introduction to game design and programming.
