You could fix this yourself by adjusting the debtags for the packages
you do not consider games  If  you visit 
<URL: http://debtags.debian.net/edit/kteatime > and remove the
game::toys tag from the program, it will no longer show up in goplay
when the tag edit is approved by the debtags maintainer.

goplay look for packages with the tags game::* and role::program, and
thus it is fairly easy to control what will show up there.

If changing the tags is not the sensible proper way to get rid of the
relevant package from the list, source code changes would be needed.
I have no idea how to do that, but suspect the change would have to be
done in src/goplay.cpp or src/Engine.cpp after a quick look in the
source.
