 The plugin supports two different modes, `rotate` and `tilt`. They both are customizable and have a different base behaviour.

 #### `tilt`
-In this mode, the cursor is tilted based on the X direction and speed it is moving at. It was intended to simulate how an object would be affected by air drag, but implemented is only a rough approximation. This mode can also be customized extensively with different activation functions, and is enabled by default.
