Or a grand total of 1025 points...
Every one of these characters come with its own achievement (of the same name) once unlocked.
Earning points
To earn points you simply keep going round and round until the bar at the top of the screen fills completely, this process will give you one point and then it will reset.
The closer to the black hole you are the faster the bar will fill, so in turn, the faster you get points.


The outer most ring freezes the bars progress meaning no points will be awarded.










The second ring from the outside awards points at a rate of about two seconds per point










The third ring from the outside awards points at a rate of about one second per point










The ring closest to the black hole awards points at a rate of about half a second per point
Achievements
As said earlier, each character that you unlock will give you an achievement
There are also achievements for scoring:

Secret achievements
A secret achievement was added in a lone update that recquires you to "near miss" 50 objects






Plumbish
This achievement can so far only be obtained in the V3 BETA of the game but this may change with other updates.
To change your game to the BETA version. go to your library and right click on the game and select "properties".















A box should show up with some tabs at the top. Click the one that says "BETA"


























Now click on the drop down and select "v3 beta".


























If you open the game as usual you will find that you can play as another character!

Objects
So far as i know, there are eight different types of object (planet) that spawn from the outer edges of the screen, all of which - when bumped into - will kill you.

Red planet
Speed: moderate
Size: medium
No special ability

Orange planet
Speed: moderate
Size: medium
No special ability

Purple planet
Speed: slow
Size: large
No special ability

Grey planet
Speed: fast
Size: small
No special ability

Icy planet
Speed: moderate
Size: small
Can randomly implode and turn into a mini black hole


Green planet
Speed: moderate
Size: medium
When completely absorbed by black hole this planet reverses your orbit


Black planet
Speed: moderate
Size: medium
Increases the size of the black hole when absorbed


Light purple planet
Speed: fast
Size: small
Usually spawns in groups of two to five, never by itself.


If there are any more types please tell me so i can add it to the guide (and add your name to the acknowledgements section)

One thing worth mentioning is that the green ones are the most important to look out for. Just avoid the other ones and pay careful attention to then the green one is about to hit so you'll be prepared to reverse direction.
Also there are orange comets that orbit around the center rather than going straight towards it.
As @Xcyiterr said the near miss point values are:
Red, orange, purple, grey = +1
Icy, green, black, pink = +2
Comet = 3
My highscore at time or writing is 94.

Ok, I've just confirmed that an orange comet is +3.
Xcyiterr 29 Dec, 2017 @ 10:56pm 
There is a 9th planet, the comet, it spirals inward instead of falling straight and its colour is sparkly orange. It only appears at about 80ish score and it's rather rare.
Here is proof:
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1249789898
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1249810671

Then the near misses, which are:
Red, orange, purple, grey = +1
Icy, green, black, pink = +2
Comet = ???

(also Plumbish comes with the normal game now, didn't have to do the beta thing to unlock)
