Smoothies and rebirths
Tips
Shredding fish can produce smoothies as a result. The first time you pick one up you earn the Collect Smoothie badge. Rebirth is not a one-time event — you can do it repeatedly, and each time you come back stronger than before.
- Pick up your first smoothie to earn the Collect Smoothie badge.
- Rebirthing resets your run but leaves you in a stronger state.
- Repeat rebirths are a growth path in the game, not a single milestone.
Swords, speed coils, and fighting other players
Table
Once you earn a sword and a speed coil, you can fight other players in the same room. A single room holds up to eight players.
| Sword | lets you engage other players in combat. |
| Speed coil | the second item needed to participate in PvP. |
| Room size | up to eight players per room. |
