I am trying to create a unique SI game(Not that it is easy).
Already I have ideas that haven't been seen in SI type of games.

YOU WERE TOO SLOW. THE CHERRIES ARE MINE YOU HEAR!

:) Have a nice day.

Coming up with a completely original idea is close to impossible, if you want to keep it close to the concept. But you can always steal ideas from a completely different genre of games. And nobody will notice, since you got to adapt the idea to the genre, and it will be completely different. Like, Limit Breaks from FF7 in SI: a super attack that gets charged up when your ship is damaged. (this of course needs a ship with HP instead of the classic arcade one-hit-kills) Anyway, how about the possibility to collect enemy ships as shields? The remains of the ships sticks to your ship, and can absorb a few bullets before vanishing.
Or: the ship turns on a shield after ceasing fire for a second or two. This shield can absorb a few hits of bullets, and then needs you to fire before it can be deployed again. You can also add on to this with a shield gauge, and let the shield be button-activated: but using the shield drains the meter much faster than it's recharged. Or maybe have an energy gauge that goes down both by shooting and shielding. It recharges slowly, so you have to think before you shoot, not just hold down th ebutton and move.
Speaking of cherries, how about bonus stages where you have to collect fruit that nets points?

Ideas that are already inside the game
Shield-except the automatic activation after shooting,and I won't use one bar for shooting and shield,ony for shield and health there will be a bar
Bonus stages

Ideas that are now in global idea:
super attack when ship is heavily damaged,tnx Yal
