It depends on the quality of the software and the availability of
Debian members to review your packaging and software.

Great!
Please ensure that there are no license compatibility isssues. OpenSSL
is one, GPLv2 only (as opposed to GPLv2+) libraries are another.

That is a shame.
Will the game run if you don't have the music installed?
Personally I prefer to listen to my own music while gaming, rather
than the game music.
You might want to try and find some DFSG-free music to replace it:

Ensure the software is ready to enter Debian[1][2], then create the
package[3], join the team[4] and check the packaging into[5] our SVN
or git, then get a sponsor[6] to review[7] the package and upload it.

There is already several Sokoban based games in Debian, is this one
unique in any way?
