Menu

The menu is the first place you see when you load up the game. It gives you News, shows your Quests, allows you to see your Materials, and more.

### Starting a game

To start a game, you simply click the blue button in the center that says "Play". You will see a loading screen, and then you can either click "Start now" or "Join a Team".

The button that says "Start now" will put you into the game normally. "Join a Team" will let you join a team. Read more about teams: Teams

### Fishes

The Fishes tab is the place where you can see all the Stabfish. You can see all of the fish you have unlocked, and even the ones you haven't. You can also see how close you are to unlocking a certain fish.

Currently, the Fishes icon is the Hammerhead, outlined in blue.

### Bag

The Bag tab is the place where you can see all of your Materials, Blueprints, and already crafted Decorations. It is the place that you can craft Blueprints, by clicking on a blueprint and then clicking the yellow "Craft" button.

Currently, the Bag icon is a brown satchel being held closed by a golden seal. It has a blue outline.

### Summon/Gacha

The Summon tab is the place where you can get Skins for your fish. Skins do not change anything about how your stabfish functions, they are entirely cosmetic. There are currently 3 different rarities of skins: 3 star, 4 star, and 5 star. It costs 200 Black Pearls to summon a skin: however, it will 1900 Black Pearls to summon 10 skins if you are patient enough, which means you save 10 Black Pearls for every skin when you summon 10 at once. These Skins are actually other stabfish that live in the Viva La Vida universe, that are brought here (probably not of their own free will) through a portal, opened by the power of the Black Pearls. The icon is referred to as "gacha" in the SVG files, and Gacha is mentioned several times in the game, so it is unknown whether to refer to this as "Summon" or "Gacha".

Currently, the Summon/Gacha icon is a diamond crystal shooting out of a portal, with stars inside, all bordered by a blue border.. It is the most complex of all the icons.

### News

The News tab is the place where announcements appear. For instance, the most recent update was the Summon (Gacha) update. It appears at the top of the News feed, since it is the most recent.

Currently, the News icon is a white and red megaphone, with a blue outline.

### Quests

The Quests tab is the place where you can see all of the Quests that are given to you. It will tell you whether or not the Quest is available, and it will tell you if you have completed it. You can also see the reward for the quest (most quests will give you Black Pearls, with many of them being able to be done once per week.).

Currently, the Quests icon is a slightly yellowed scroll wrapped in a brown ribbon, held together by a wax seal with a trident pressed into it. It also has a blue outline.

### Ranking

The Ranking tab is the place where you can find all of the leaderboards. There is the Today Leaderboard, that shows the top score for the day. There is the All-Time Leaderboard, which shows the best scores since the game started. There is the Crafting Leaderboard, that shows the most crafted decorations for the day. There is the Armageddon Leaderboard, which shows the lowest times that someone has survived an Armageddon. And there is the Personal Leaderboard, which shows your best stats.

Currently, the Ranking icon is a golden trophy with dragon wings, with a blue outline.
