Ultimate Ascent is definitely a good game to reference. Shooting, cross-field cycling, hoovering scoring items, and two giant structures clogging everything up. The biggest difference is you can't expand the field by driving under the obstacles. 4 robot pile-ups next to one of the airships are going to be common. Being able to push around the side of that pile is going to be important.
