The page by that URL does not mention the project you intend to package.
Or at least I failed to locate it there.

"written in Ruby/SDL" is implementation specific and has nothing to do
with package's description.  Please be more descriptive and concrete.
Supposedly something like
"An Icy Tower-like game which can be played downwards"
might be just OK.

The general rule of thumb for writing a package's description is that it
should deliver as much as possible information to a *previously
uninformed* user.  The user which looks for games is not concerned with
which software stack was used for development, but should receive a
clear hint of what this game is about just from looking at its
description in the list their software package manager presents them
with.

The extended description could supposedly be toned down a bit,
and then extended.

Please understand that you're not a marketologist or advertisement
specialist here, and your task is not about raising an excitement of a
potential customer by any means.
Luckily, we don't sell, we just deliver. ;-)
