Diet Family

Has anybody played this?

Is it even out yet?

It looks hilarious. It's a cute 'em up where you apparently need to shoot sweets and junkfoods and if you get hit you build up too many calories or something.

Semicon is pretty well known for not have a single original idea. In Wyvern Wings they directly ripped off like 5 other shmups, and even uses a Metalica midi sound track that I'm sure they did not license. I sort of consider WW to be an Omake, as it is still a fun game, and cool to pickout which animations, weapons, and bullet patterns they ripped off.
