Yes, it comes with several different kinds of "microworlds" that are games in themselves, but with "levels" you can build, i.e. with tiles or objects, so many different (even user defined) scenarios are possible. Then it has lessons with gradually increasing complexity that you have to solve.
It's really a lot like Robot Odyssey (yet not as hard and limited), but you're learning a real programming language, byte by byte. Starting with drag-and-drops icons and boxes to represent sequences, then conditionals and branching and looping and functions.

Each of these lessons has corresponding levels that have different simplified visual approaches to programming.
The object oriented stuff comes later, and has some corresponding object oriented simulation game microworlds, like tower defense, virtual pets, and programmable drones, etc.
I wish there was a video showing the virtual pets and Factorio/Robot-Odyssey-esque robot drones you can program to take care of them -- that was really neat, and taught event based programming.

Before "What is a Function?" you have to learn "What is Sequence?" and "What are Conditions?":
