[The Alpha and Omega]

- Hot keys for each party member (1-5). During a stage, pressing a hotkey selects that viking. This saves time when doing combos with the same viking. A similar function is when you click a viking, it remains selected until you select another viking. This way you can focus on doing combos with the same viking without having to keep clicking them.

- During a stage, clicking the arrow on the far right of the lane puts that viking in auto-advance mode, automatically moving right and attacking until it reaches the end. Clicking the arrow again stops the viking.

- When a viking levels up during a stage, a "Level Up!" message pops up over their head.

- During a stage, right-clicking a viking displays its stats and passives. Sometimes I forget how much damage a viking does, or what passives it has, or its hat stat.

- A chest on your ship that stores items bought from the shop or rewarded from completing a stage. The player can then pick items from the chest to add to the backpack. This allows the player to pick items depending on the stage, as well as not lose item rewards because of a full backpack.

- Option to delete vikings you're no longer using, uncluttering the party list.

- Pay gold or beer to choose the perk/buff to add to your hat in the Hat-O-Matic.

- Pay gold or beer to reroll viking shops.

- Puzzles designed in a way that requires certain vikings or a specific strategy that the player has to figure out. Currently the puzzles can be completed with almost any combination of vikings when max level, and eventually the enemies feel more like obstacles that you shoot until dead rather than puzzles.

With this suggestion, the player is challenged and rewarded through careful strategy rather than mindless clicking. So for example you can have a stage full of traps with the rule "Clear the stage in 1 action", meaning the player has to shoot the one trap that triggers them all in a chain.

Another option is puzzles where the player is given a specific group of vikings with specific stats, with enemies arranged in a way that requires the unique strengths of each viking in order to complete.

Some other rules: "Clear the stage without moving any viking", "Passive skills are disabled", "Do a 10-hit combo from a single action", "Clear the stage in 10 actions or less".
