I finally get the hang of it :D Moving the lasso while you are pulling it back is key. I was able to grab chests on the edge more easily.
I had a laugh when the lasso collided with obstacles and bounced all over the place. And the exploding barrels were funny to.
Like others have said, there are a few bugs, but these are forgivable. I notice the lasso power meter still has an interactable slider -- maybe turn that part off ;)
