• Next Update Coming May 25! - 6 May 2025

  The next update for Tricky Madness is coming May 25 and it's huge! 🚨 The #1 thing everyone’s been asking for... a NEW MAP: Mars City Mayhem! It’s a chaotic, city-inspired level that proudly wears its influences on its sleeve. It’s also packed with the most secrets, routes, and unique assets I’ve ever crammed into a map. Almost all existing content and systems have been reworked. Both characters and both current maps have been updated to fit my new vision for the game. On top of that, in-air rotations have been completely overhauled to look more fluid and allow for off-axis flips. There’s also a new option to turn off auto-alignment with the ground, allowing for smoother flips and spins. 😎 There are a ton of smaller changes too — physics tweaks, grinding improvements, new music, VFX, and SFX. Thanks so much to everyone who’s supported the game in these early stages. Seriously, it means…
