It bears no resemblance to the original game that you loved except for aesthetically. If you go into this expecting a Super Meat Boy game, you will be tragically disappointed.
This is an endless runner style game. If you like that kind of game, maybe this is a good example of one. I am not sure, I do not particularly like that genre of game so I'm not a good judge. I almost never do this, but I actually bought this game completely on impulse when I saw that it had released, based purely on name. Then I found out that I had been bait-and-switched and they slapped the Super Meat Boy name on a game that has nothing to do with Super Meat Boy.
As long as you are aware of all that, and are open to paying money for an endless runner, then by all means go for it. But I think it's really a necessary disclaimer because they don't really make this clear in their marketing stuff.

Also, it's not an endless runner in the traditional sense. You can't stop running, true, but there are distinct levels and even bosses to complete. It's more Super Mario Run than it is Jetpack Joyride.

The point I wanted to drive home is that this game bears no resemblance to the original game. If you did nothing but look at screenshots and read about this game, you could easily decide to buy this without realizing that. In fact that is what I did, and while I didn't feel ripped off exactly (my own choice to buy it after all), I did feel like the game descriptions and media are intentionally misleading in not making it clear that this game is an entirely separate genre.
The original SMB was a cult classic and sort of defined its own little niche genre...and I believe it gained the popularity it did based very strongly on the specifics of its gameplay loop. This game has none of that. There's a reason a lot of people don't even know that a sequel to SMB came out...it's just got nothing to do with the original and clearly didn't capture people's attention in the same way. To me it felt like a mobile game.
