Nice

Well, kdelibs4 will be available for Linux(X11), Mac and Windows, so that 
should not be a problem

The game seems nice, but needs some polishment, some dialogs do not resize 
nicely and for example there is no way to exit the game except using [x] 
button of window decoration.

Now on to the interesting things:
 - I am not the one who decides if the game can go or not inside kdegames, we 
have a working group (well really do not have it right now but it will exist 
in 2 weeks time or so) that decides that kind of things
 - It is obvious the game is not polished enough (for now) to go directly into 
kdegames

So what i suggest is:
 - Read this http://developer.kde.org/documentation/misc/applysvnaccount.php 
and tell sysadmins you want to continue developing a game you are doing for 
kde4
 - You will probably be accepted, then import your sources into 
branches/work/kde4/playground/games/      This is where we are developing 
"unstable" games that may end in kdegames for KDE4
 - Continue developing your game there, one of the first things you have to do 
is use kdelibs.
 - Once you think it is polished enough ask the working group about the 
possibility of adding it to kdegames

Keep in mind once your code gets in kde svn it can be touched by more people 
than you, people usually ask for permission before doing it, but some others 
do not when it is simple/obvious fixes.

Also keep in mind that introducing a dependecy on kdelibs4 means you will NOT 
be able of releasing your game for public until kdelibs4 is released and that 
will take some time (estimates from 9 months to 2 years)

BTW this is all assuming your game is under a license allowed by KDE
