Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the great feedback and for the offer to help with the app — we appreciate it!
To answer your question: yes, you can increase the speed of any mode. When the RGB Critter BT is disconnected from the app, just hold the Arrow button to increase the speed of the mode you're currently viewing.
If you're using the app, head to the My Playlists section, tap the three white dots next to any mode, and select 'Edit Mode'. That will take you to the DIY page, where you can adjust the speed from 1–100%.
We don’t allow speeds higher than 100% because at that point, the LEDs would output constant light, which can look washed out and make effects hard to see.
Let us know if you ever want to dive deeper or have ideas to share. We’re always open to suggestions — especially from someone with a software background!
