This game made me giggle. Very fun and a great concept that goes with really well with the prompt. I felt like the end was truly inevitable.

Thank you!

World's most picky volcano XD and the sound effects were great!

Couple of quality of life things I noticed: - It was hard to determine how much of an effect my attempts were having on the volcano, because I never saw the volcano image go back a stage. I dumped everything in at once, but there was no way for me to tell whether throwing things in at a slower pace would have worked better. - In a similar vein, there was no obvious warning right before the volcano exploded. If there had been, I might have had a chance to try to quickly drop a few things in as a last ditch desperation move. - Given that I threw everything in immediately, it was very obvious when things spawned on the empty screen. Having them wander on from the sides would have looked smoother. - Sound effects aren't all the same volume - the OI is particularly loud and startled me once or twice.

Good effort, though! Had a fun few minutes playing it :)

I loved this theme usage. Sacrifice living things in a silly attempt to stop nature from unleashing the inevitable destruction. I liked the sound effects, in particular I found the different levels of noisiness or bitrate between them rather fascinating.

Fun little game. More in-game feedback would have been appreciated, but overall, Good Job !

It was nice and funny, I'm not sure how the gameplay could be improved - maybe the volcano could provide more clues about what he wants to eat? The art is nice, but inconsistent at times, I mean the black borders (e.g. the dogs have it, but chickens do not). I liked the humor and voice acting. Good entry!

Good concept, the voice acting was pretty funny. I thought the art was cute. At times it felt like the game was random, like the clues weren't clear enough to figure out what the volcano wanted. (Although, I guess an inevitable eruption does fit the theme.)
