Remove 2-player cooperative, then. The arcade never had 2-player
cooperative, as I recall. That was added for 2600 Space Invaders, and so
when space is a concern, I say remove stuff that has been done before.

The mothership could be handicapped by being larger than the base, and
also be HOLLOW inside. If it's a moving 4-char than the inventory could
build inside as little dots or eggs. After a certain point, if the
invaders are not dispersed, they would pop out one by one automatically.

Or maybe if you hold down on the stick and tap the fire button you can
select a shield and when you release it, the shield starts glowing and
explodes forward into a megamissile that blasts everything in that
vertical strip.
