I was looking at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Games
It lists Nikki and Robots as available but it isn't. The page tells you it needs work so I'm not surprised to find something like that. Is there anyway to know when it was removed and why? The company behind the game is apparently gone. I thought maybe it was the CC-BY-SA license on the levels but that appears to be acceptable for content. The source can be found on github.

I might be able to tell you if I had any idea of what the package was named, but I can't even find that. Even searching for "site:fedoraproject.org nikki" doesn't show anything. I'm not sure that package was ever in Fedora; it it was it must have been a very long time ago.
That game was added to the list in 2012 by a user who is not a packager. I suspect that someone thought the page was either a wishlist or a list of free games which would work on Linux.
I looked through all of the licensing information and see nothing which would prevent it from being accepted into Fedora, assuming all of its dependencies can be in Fedora. Unfortunately I know nothing about packaging haskell, though. (Or anything about haskell at all, really.) It doesn't look like it would be particularly difficult to build, though.

Haskell is a functional language. The is a helper package for generating spec files for libraries. It probably wouldn't be too hard to get Haskell dependencies packaged.
