needle ice

tech: needle ice - needles make 1-2 ice 9 after they impact a wall
needle shot gun fires 1 less needle

most harpoon tech are about 5% better
JUNK tech: negative friction - you speed up when you touch walls

no-cloning theorem:  42% -> 38% dup chance
symbiosis:  2 tech -> 1-2 tech after a boss dies
quenching gives 10% less max health for over heal
