No SEO expert, but to get the ball rolling take the meta-keywords: game maker, game builder, html5, create games, games creator -- and put them in the visible content in a way that a human reading the site would get the idea right away that was the focus of the site. Beyond making sure the search engines can see the content, not doing things search engines don't like (for example spam) -- my experience has been in large part that if human will like it, search engines will too. For example, search engine like pages that load fast; humans do too. Any rate, I'm no expert; meaning I don't current get paid to do seo; have in the past though.
