A bittersweet story about navigating life, uncertainty, and new beginnings, Goodbye Volcano High is one that will resonate with many, and bends the genre in all the right ways.
I had a wonderful time with Goodbye, Volcano High. It’s an amazing experience that could only be had in the medium of videogames.

Ko_Op shoots for the moon and lands
among the stars. A heartfelt coming-of-age
tale, there won’t be a dry eye by the time you
play the final notes. [Issue#33, p.78]
Goodbye Volcano High is an absolute delight. While the rhythm gameplay segments are a bit of a nuisance by way of their design, the only other real issue is the sorry state of the Trophy list, something that should be easily remedied. If you can look past those fairly minor hitches, then what you’ll experience is an exceptionally written game filled out by a cast of characters without so much as a weak link. Combine the incredibly impressive roster of characters with the high caliber of writing capable of delivering an emotional gut-punch just as easily as raucous laughter, this is not one worth sleeping on.
Goodbye Volcano High approaches the exit from adolescence to the fall of an asteroid, with all the powerful and fearsome consequences that follow. The ambiguity of this force of nature, destructive and constructive at the same time, opens new possibilities in the minds of those who are subject to its whims. KO_OP manages to make people smile, move and reflect with an irresistible cast of cartoon dinosaurs that will remain imprinted in our hearts for a long time. It is a pity for some technical problems and for the development of the story that can be seen in some parts, but these defects are not such as to affect the high quality of this fascinating ensemble.
Goodbye Volcano High is going to be an acquired taste. When it really gets going, it’s a meaningful exploration of finding meaning in friendship and the present moment, backed with a killer soundtrack. You just need to wade through a lot of technical problems and pacing issues to get to that heart.
Goodbye Volcano High is likely to appeal to those who want an uncomplicated and down-to-earth narrative experience. There are glimpses of goodness within Goodbye Volcano High’s grounds, but the bland writing, cliched characters and needlessly protracted scenes don’t do it any favours. The rhythm action sections are swell additions that break up the long-winded cutscenes, but they too are overstuffed with timed button press prompts, as they end up feeling too hectic for their own good. Goodbye Volcano High overstays its welcome in spite of its 5-hour length, lumbering along without any significant drama until the climax approaches, so it’s questionable whether you’d stay the course or find something more dramatic to satiate your appetite for good videogame yarns. If this is indeed goodbye to Volcano High, then its demise will shed only a shrug of disappointment.
I felt pleased after playing the game music was perfect, really enjoyed the game

I was blown away that I didn't hate this. The plot got me interested and it delivers on that for the most part. The rhythm sections were my favorite parts. Pretty engaging for a visual novel. However those L&L bits were rough. Decent game, give it a shot!

For 25 dollars,3 years of develoment and a new history i was expectating something better,but the sad thing is thinking that the ''snoot game'' a game made by a indie studio will have everything better in all aspect,this is disapointing, i persoanlly recommend ''snoot game'' believe me,its better

I think that the story got potential, but at the end it ended up being a borring expirience. But giving credit where credit is due the soundtrack is preatty good.
