  This is certainly a good place to be asking that question :) If you want to 
get something into KDE, a good place to start would be to request access to 
the KDE SVN - http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Get_a_SVN_Account - and then 
uploading the project to playground/games :) Once it is in a finished state, 
you then move it to KDEReview :)

  That does look rather interesting :) Classic pixel type games, using new 
techniques, very nicely done :)

p.s.: Are you aware of the Gluon project? http://gluon.tuxfamily.org/
