With the help of the incredible XBLIG Pivot Database, courtesy of Xbox Indies, we are able to find all 4 player shoot 'em ups on Xbox LIVE Indie Games. It turns out we created three of the top seven, basd on user ratings:


Xona Games created three of the top seven 4 player shumps on XBLIG.
(Decimation X, Decimation X3, and Score Rush.)

The top seven 4-player shmups on XBLIG, in alphebetical order:

  1. Decimation X :)
  2. Decimation X3 :)
  3. Hypership Out of Control
  4. I Maed A Gam3 W1th Z0mbies!!!1
  5. Score Rush :)
  6. Square Off
  7. Zombie Estate

All other 4 player shmups on XBLIG are rated below 4.0 of 5 stars. We assume the list is based on the U.S. ratings, which it and other countries have experienced lacrosse fan manipulation. Our same three games dominate the Japan ratings with even higher ratings.
