Tricky Madness

Tricky Madness is an arcade snowboarding game currently in Steam Early Access, launched on November 15, 2024 by solo developer Nathan Dearth. The game has been receiving consistent and substantial updates throughout its Early Access period. Two major maps have shipped post-launch: Mars City Mayhem on May 25, 2025, and Station-BIG on December 18, 2025. In between and around those releases, the developer has also added new characters (Curtis on June 19, 2025; Ryan on August 1, 2025), new physics and gameplay systems, visual overhauls, and UI improvements. On December 28, 2025, Nathan posted a development status update celebrating 10,000 copies sold and laying out what remains: the last four characters (each with unique trick layouts), more wicked tricks and signature tricks, and significant visual and world improvements. This makes clear that development is ongoing with meaningful content still to be delivered. Most recently, on September 2, 2026, the developer announced "Fresh Visuals," described as the game's biggest visual update yet, confirmed to launch on September 30, 2026. This is an announced, upcoming update — concrete evidence that active development continues right up to today's date of September 18, 2026.
