Scratch is a great place to start learning how to do anything! (Well, most things.) Graphic design, game design, programming, advertising, you name it, we got it! After you graduate from Scratch, there are many other sites that feature more advanced aspects of block-coding, like Snap!. After that, you can learn many new programming languages, like JS, Python, HTML5 (What mobile devices use) and more!

@Bright-Idea HTML5 is the language of the web, and is usually supported by mobile devices. However, mobile games tend to be apps. Apple's apps are, for instance, written in Objective-C (Edit: Or swift).

The game you linked is a bit dark, don't you think?

As for becoming a game developer, Scratch is a great place to begin and become experienced with programming. Many elements (not all) from Scratch, such as “if” blocks are common with other programming languages, and it should be slightly easier for you to learn others.

Scratch isn't the language to build websites, make official games, and apps with, but it's a great website to immerse yourself in programming.

It's a good way to learn who to develop games and promote them to other people. However, it isn't the way to develop games for real. I would recommend you to use Stencyl for that purpose.
