Gameplay improvements - let me know what you think!

I spent some time to rethink the gameplay and here are my ideas:

player gets experience points for killing enemies. Higher combo - more XP.
advancing a level lets the player choose one of three randomly selected upgrades.
killing large enemies and making long combo chains yields some kind of trinkets.
the player will use the trinkets to unlock new upgrades (which will be available to choose in further plays).

I started implementing the XP system: [img=https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/hplovecar/xp01.gif][/img] I'm still not sure what to do with new weapons - I don't think that putting them in that random-3 is a good idea. Right now I think about an in-game shop, where you can buy another weapon using the trinkets (instead of using them to unlock new upgrades). Do you have any other ideas?
