Did you try out the right click? I call it a grapple but its just really pulling you towards the mouse. You can sling around with your momentum and do cool shots with your laser. Maybe in like a space game?
I didn't, but I have to now! There is a really neat pixel planet generator here on itch, that you could use to quickly build a space exploration/shooter around these mechanics. I will definitely follow future development if you do any.
