I would say apply for a svn account so you can put it in playground/games and 
people can try it out more easily. Eventually it could go into kdegames in 
time for kde 4.2, new games are always wellcome!
About the theme: there are a few great artists active in kdegames, I'm sure 
they will be able to help you with that =)

Ciao!
