Spending coins: upgrades and new worlds
Tips
Coins do two things: they buy upgrades that make fishing faster and more efficient, and they unlock new worlds where the fish are worth more.
- Upgrades take effect automatically the moment you buy them.
- New worlds bring more valuable fish, which means more coins per shred.
Badge milestones for shred count
Table
You earn a badge each time your total shred count crosses one of the thresholds below. The idle shredder keeps adding to your count even when you are offline.

Common questions
FAQDo I lose anything if I close the game?
Nothing is lost. Your fish keep getting shredded and your coin total keeps climbing while you are offline. When you log back in, all the coins that built up while you were away are ready to collect.
What actually happens when someone steals from me?
Your coin or fish total drops by whatever amount they took. Stealing is a designed part of multiplayer, not a bug.
Why bother unlocking new worlds?
Each new world gives you access to fish that are worth more coins per shred than the ones in earlier worlds.
