A wacky Platformer with a 16-Bit Vibe — Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel

10/04/2026 · Event · Skelethrone: The Prey

Calling all fans of 16-bit ’90s classics and lovers of chaotic platformers!

Meet Kettlebell: Inferno Hotel — a dynamic 2D platformer packed with nods to the games you grew up with. You play as Mr. K, an ordinary office clerk who, through a ridiculous twist of fate, ends up… exactly where you’d expect. In Hell. And not just anywhere — in the infamous Inferno Hotel, a place even the devils themselves would rather avoid.

Climb through nine floors of the Inferno Hotel across 40+ handcrafted levels, each with its own traps, enemies, and gameplay twists designed to keep you on your toes.

At its core, this is fast, tight platforming inspired by the golden era of Mega Drive and Super Nintendo. But Inferno Hotel isn’t just about nostalgia — each floor plays a little differently, with its own ideas and twists that change how you move through the game.

But enough talk — take a look at the trailer.
