The game currently has top scores in the low 300s, which seems achievable if players move strategically and without panicking across the map.  While the game only requires the use of the arrow keys or the WASD keys, its challenges are motor reflex-oriented.  Dodging asteroids of varying shapes and sizes that fall at different speeds will be easy for some, but much harder for others.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sc-2ed2039d-2 hmmXcn gg-dark:text-white scene:font-itc-avant-garde-gothic-pro scene:font-light\" style=\"margin-top:2em;text-align:left;padding-bottom:16px;margin-bottom:16px;border-bottom:1px solid #dfe2e4\" color=\"#333\">Rewards<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:sm:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">According to Space Mermaids&#8217; <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.spacemermaids.xyz\/\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\">top-scoring players will win a free Space Mermaids <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/resources\/non-fungible-tokens-nfts-explained-guide-learn-blockchain\" class=\"sc-adb616fe-0 ePvUAp\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">NFT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400\">  on the XRP Ledger after the game&#8217;s \u201cplay-to-mint\u201d competition ends on July 25.
