I don't know what you're comparing flower to, but for the amount it costs, and the range of games at a similar price point (and higher...) I'd hardly call it weak. It doesn't have a major narrative because that isn't the point. Sorry if the game doesn't cater to your epic boss fight needs, ridiculous overtures and climactic story line desires, which you are aparently basing as a yard stick for all good games.
Sometimes something a little bit different is fun to play every now and then.
