Yup it would work fine. I suggest looking at the sample prefab object - you can tear it down and use whatever part you like. The one you NEED to have is the tk2dUIItem, everything else is optional. In fact it might work better in your case, as you don't need to tweak the "button" to behave like a clickable object. tk2dUIItem IS a clickable object, the button behaviour goes on top of it.
