In the year 2124, you are the sole survivor of a team of elite planetary surveyors, tasked with stabilizing newly formed planets for habitation.

How long can YOU hold out? Featuring classic, overhead 2D, arcade-action, requiring seriously extreme finger-flicking reflexes! This is NOT a game for people who content themselves with playing Solitaire! Thou hast been warned! Completely fair gameplay. No unfair advantage given to the enemy, in higher difficulties.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Volcanoes! at none against Lava Crew's 4. Volcanoes! also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). Lava Crew's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lava Crew sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Volcanoes! asks for nothing beyond the download.
Lava Crew holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Volcanoes! has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
