I liked the original Amidar like concept, where you had to fill the screen
with dots and avoid the enemies. That would have involved a bit more tactics
than a 'mindless shooter'. With a bit of finetuning and some new game
elements that might have become a nice game.
Shooting doesn't really fit in there. You need to think of a new concept.
Maybe turn it into a flat version of Tempest and use the dotted background
for the spike aliens. Or a combination of shooting and collecting, as Greg
has suggested.
