Holy Arrow

Holy Arrow is a single screen action arcade game with beautiful 16-bit style graphics and music.

You play as an aspiring superhero who must win her admission into the Superhero Alliance by going through the ritual of defending the planet from an alien invasion!

Once every 10 years, aliens invade the planet to try and conquer it. The aliens are pretty weak for most of our planet's superheroes so the Superhero Alliance takes this chance to let newcomers prove their worth and join the Alliance, by successfully fending off the invaders they'll be allowed into the alliance: this is called the Ritual of Admission. A superhero called Holy Arrow stepped up to the task, and must now try to survive, win her prestige and defend the planet all at once!
