Writing this after 2 complete runs and before I find out there's some secret meta game with those grey worlds that I didn't understand.
This game is just as delightful as y'all on this site made it out to be.
Drax and DeemonAndGames have already written reviews that do well to summarize all of the analysis I could muster about it. In truth there isn't a large volume that can be said about it, as it is such a distillation of one concept executed in such lovably demented way. Either you'll get it or you won't, but if you like "games" you probably will and it's absolutely worth trying for yourself to see.
So call this another scouting report: yes, the rumors are true. The game is good.

Thanks for the shout-out! Like you said, there isn't a ton that necessarily needs to be written about the game, it's just a fantastic formula played out to its fullest extent. I've been feeling burnt-out by roguelites for quite some time now, which is why Mosa Lina was such a surprise hit for me. The devs are still adding more tools/game modes and improving the beta level editor, so chances are, this is just the beginning of more great things to come.
