New games are always good :-)

Why not host it on KDE SVN repository?

Well, just start coding it with "ugly" graphics and keep in mind the 
possibility of "themes" so an artist can come later and just changing image 
files can change altogether the look of the game.

As far as i know sound people is missing.
