When starting a match, you get to select its objective and difficulty.
Once the objective is completed, so is your mission.
It is possible to extend your objective and stay a little longer on the planet, but the longer you stay, the harder it gets.
Planets
There are now 2 different planets.
Different planets have different biomes, enemies, and soundtracks, but you will have to unlock them.

4 new biomes, 5 new enemies, tons of new map features
