Pretty decent dash mod
This mod alows you to accelerate to fast speeds while holding the Aux1 button, It is a pretty nice feature, especially becaus it is customizable, so you can change the cooldown, jump increase, etc..
However, I really wanted those cool blur effects from the thumbnail, while in reality, there's none, it feels like clickbait. It would also be nice if you could make it instantly speed you up instead of accelerating. Lastly, dashing seems to not work with the hold button setting disabled.
