Very fun game! I wanted more, meaning, I wish it went on forever, and not stopped me, there should be a press button to end level or something like that, or if you beat the story version, do an endless mode

- Very fun! love me some vampire survivor esk games. i can see where the theme would have fit, fire spreads, but it doesnt actually do that here! otherwise, excellent, id play more of it! i played it until it became unplayable from preformance, due to so many enemies on screen :)
- A pretty Vamp Surv clone that does nothing to add to the genre, fails to adhere to the theme, and ends before it begins.

Tell us about your game!
“Mira: Prairie River Pyre” is a love-letter to bullet-hell survivors, that takes place on the mythic ancestral plains of Saskatchewan. Young Mira summons an anxious fire spirit and gains magical powers after failing to return her late Baba’s ashes to her final resting place, her hometown of Prairie River. She must collect enough pieces of her Baba’s ashes to gain enough power to sooth the frightened haunting and bring peace and rest to the Land of the Living Skies.
Players take advantage of the water claw attack to fight back the horde of haunts. Hiding behind obstacles can provide temporary shelter, but beware of flammable materials. The game takes a casual simple approach to gameplay, with no button mapped to any attack buttons. Controller support is available during gameplay. Players are able to defeat enemies to pick up ashes to gain levels.
