This will really raise the level of shareware!  Solarian II had set a
standard that seemed unreachable by others (charging exorbitant prices ;).
With the planned fixes, Diamonds is right in the Solarian class, IMO.

enough drivel ...

how about a "life brick" (white cross, naturally).  this would be placed
strategically and when struck would disappear.  there would somehow be
an indication that you have "death resistance" (perhaps a small white
cross in the middle of the ball).  "death resistance" should allow you
to touch one death brick without dying but you would then lose your
death resistance.  perhaps, you would also lose the points you
accumulated on that level when you lose your death resistance.
