→ Right Arrow	Increase swim speed
← Left Arrow	Decrease swim speed

A heads-up message in the top-left corner confirms every change.

Configuration

Config file: BepInEx/config/youdied.swimspeed.cfg

[Speed Range]

Setting	Default	Range	Description
MinimumMultiplier	1.0	1.0 – 10.0	Lowest speed the arrow keys can reach
MaximumMultiplier	5.0	1.0 – 10.0	Highest speed the arrow keys can reach
AdjustmentPercent	20	1 – 100	How much each key press changes speed (% of base)

[Current Speed]

Setting	Default	Description
CurrentMultiplier	1.0	Your current multiplier — saved automatically, or set directly

[Ludicrous Speed]

Setting	Default	Range	Description
LudicrousEnabled	false	true/false	Whether Ludicrous Speed is active on load
LudicrousMultiplier	10.0	2.0 – 20.0	Bonus multiplier stacked on top of normal speed when active. Try 4–5 first!

---

Tips

• Set MaximumMultiplier up to 10.0 for extreme speeds
• AdjustmentPercent = 10 gives finer control; 50 gives big jumps
• Ludicrous Speed stacks on top of your current multiplier — so 3x speed + Ludicrous x10 = 30x total. Start with LudicrousMultiplier = 4 or 5 if 10 is too chaotic
• Jumping out of water onto rocks and ladders works normally

Install directly through r2modman or the Thunderstore mod manager.
