Fantastic game, I've been playing it obsessively since the day it came out. I really don't have any complaints. :D Keep up the good work!

Reviews for "Helmet Heroes"
I love this game. Period. Addicted to it big time! I would like to point out the things i would really want fixed and/or implemented, most of these things have already been pointed out, but i would like to express my feelings towards this game.
-DEFINITELY fix the fact that anyone can attack monsters freely, thus commiting killsteal, lootsteal, and being douches. A monster lock per player would be awesome, whenever the player leaves the map that lock would be released, same with the loot. The fact that anyone can attack and kill you monster and steal your experience makes the grind harder, and the money making harder, considering they can ninja the loots.
-Add game channels, this game is growing, everyone knows it, and with such a small map and not many mid-high lvl grinding spots, the overpopulation makes it hard to level, and it will get harder as time passes by considering the fact this game is gaining popularity as time passes by. Channels or instances will be needed in the future to avoid this, and i would recommend adding them as soon as possible.
-Adding global chat/trade chat/PM chat/Guild chat, i have noticed that the only way to PM someone is by adding them to friend list, which is not practical, adding a whisper option when right clicking a name on the chat menu would help a lot, same with a global/trade chat with a certain cooldown time and/or ignore/mute function to punish spammers. Same with guilds, it would be nice that when joining a guild members can communicate between each other fast, to organize GvG events, trading between guildies or organizing grinding/drop hunts.
-Adding mounts and/or pets. I would love to see this, considering the art/drawing style you use i would LOVE to see some whacky pets or mounts with the option to outfit them, level them up, and of course the perks they would give the player (+moving speed, +stats, perhaps an option to fight from your mount since it would be annoying to get on/off when grinding, and pets automatically picking up your loot would be nice as well)
-I have no complaints towards the payvault, i know you need economic support and i think the stuff that is on sale is not bad, but i think selling ingame money for real cash is not a good move, i would add instead, name/appearance changing options, x2 exp for a certain time, or stuff like that, the fact that you can buy money with real life cash takes the fun out of grinding and merching to be able to afford an item you NEED.
-There are a few other minor bugs regarding mobs spawning and moving around oddly in the map, same with players, but that will be fixed with time, with smoother programming and whatnot.
Lastly i would like to see game forum made, it is not comfortable to communicate through newgrounds review section and helmet games review sections, a simple forum with a suggestions, notice, guild, trading and general sections would make things much easier and make the game community act diferently (i have notice the community is extremely flawed, lots of people not talking at all, most people kill stealing, etc etc) a Forum would help a lot, trust me.
In conclussion, you have a diamond in the rough here, you just need to polish it, i know you are only human and you are alone, i am just making suggestions I would like to see implemented, but after all, YOU are the creator and YOU are calling the shots, you can rest assured that there is at least 1 person here that is rooting for you, and please do not quit on this project, it has potential, trust me!
If my review is helpful, by all means use it as a tool, if it is not, just ignore it, either away, i rate this game a 5, and i know it will be a big game, please don't quit it, keep it up, and congratulations on creating something that clearly shows your capacities considering you are alone. Good luck and thanks for creating this!

Thanks for the nice review! I'm always updating the game multiple times per week, so no need to worry about no new content. I will try to be addressing the XP/kill steal issue this week by spreading XP amonst players that damaged the enemy and creating multiple coins whenever an enemy is killed by multiple players.
I plan to add more for guilds, such as a guild hall where guilds can communicate and collect trophies, etc.
Pets will DEFINITELY be in the game as well, however that will be a big task that may still be 1-2 months away.
As for no in-game money in the cash shop. That's my best selling item, so unfortunately for non-paying players, I will be leaving that in. Gotta make money somewhere or I couldn't work on it.
Lastly, helmet heroes has a website I am working on that will have a forum on it! I hope to have it ready enough for users within a week or two at the most.
