I agree, the notes and mood are different in both, but I think there're still some similarities in other aspects:
First, the effect produced by both doesn't seem to be a melody, but just an isolated sequence of repetitive notes without a strong structure.
Also, both sequences fit in a single bar, can be played with the same duration with a very little alteration of the speed, and both seem to be faster at the start and slower at the end.
And last, but maybe most important, though in the movie there're five notes, while in the game there're six, the "routes" you have to follow to play both are very similar: up, down, down, up in the movie, and up, (down, down), down, up in the game. Of course, the intervals change, but the difference is not dramatic.
So, for me, both are obviously different, but still there're some resemblances. It's like comparing the original melody of TB with one of the versions Mike has created after it. Some of them are very different, but still they have something in common. I don't think it would be very risky to think that Mike was inspired by the movie to create that fragment of the game, specially knowing that he likes a lot that kind of stuff.
