As opposed to...?
But yes, it's a very empty and Kirby-easy game, featuring lots of rooms that are just a big space with nothing in them. $15 is pretty cheap so if you're really hankering for a 2D game you could certainly do much worse, as there is a decent amount to explore and lots of extras to find, just don't expect an awesome action game. It's much better than the NES Strider game, for whatever that's worth.
