Propose Projects to be Featured wrote:
These are the kind of things we're looking for:
- simple projects
- complex projects
- projects that show an innovative use of Scratch
- projects that promote collaboration and remixing
- projects by people who haven’t been on the front page a lot already
- projects that show the diversity in our community (gender, age, culture, country, interests, language, etc)
- projects that different kinds of people would find enjoyable
- projects that inspire

As you can see, they do look for complex projects. But, if you read the rest of the lisy, they want projects that a new scratcher could see and use and be inspired to create their own projects. And what do you consider “better” projects? Scratch is supposed to be open to beginner coders and more advanced coders alike, so a simple project can be just as good as a 3d game.

If every project was some super advanced code that only a few people understand, then it would probably intimidate people to think that they have to make projects like that, to get featured.
