Had never played it before, dug out Mame and got it going... dear god, that looks like a Rom hack of Tumblepop more than it does a successor to the game. Some of the enemies are just directly ripped from TP but they have just bizarre non intuitive patterns of movement.

Also the characters movements and attacks are far less precise than in TP from my hour or so of playing Diet Go Go, it's like they were going to try to rip off bubble bobble and their own games.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention that the game exists though, very strange to see something like that after all these years, so similar but so far off Tumblepop imo.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that way less effort than in Tumblepop was put into this one. Data East made another arcade within the subgenre, Joe & Mac Returns.  It features Joe and Mac from Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja.

See there is a group bringing those Data East games to the Switch now, really have my fingers crossed for Tumblepop, but yeah... that Diet game it felt like a 1980s asset flip :D maybe in some ways it was ahead of its time?
