I managed to get a score of 300 after three tries. I like the shooting and the planet lasso. One thing I would like to see added though is you have to click another button to get the lasso to retract. I really enjoyed swinging around planets to kill enemies rather than landing on them so if there were an option to make the lasso make you stay the same distance from the planet before retracting I gather the game could be made even more fun. My favorite part of the game was swinging round planets at high speed so that's why I suggest the swinging lasso

Thanks for your feedback. 300 is a solid score. I don't want to brag but my highscore was 740, but I have played my game a few hours during development :D
I indeed had the lasso stay at the distant it had when first attaching to the planet but that felt completely weird because this often caused you to instantly change the direction you are going. So i went with the elastic rubber-band like effect.
Regarding your problem with staying in the orbit around a planet, try using your jetpack to keep the distance. This works really nice ;) And yes, when I'm bored I also start sling-shooting around the planets like crazy. It feels so satisfying. At least until you hit a plant :D
