This started off as a fun game about a newsreader and became increasingly bizarre and disturbing the longer I worked on it. I'm a little scared of it now.
Help Satan pump the tortured souls of the eternally damned to fuel the hate-filled bile of a modern day political pundit.

Bizarre indeed. And creepy. You did a good job with the sounds!
It's a bit annoying that the Satan pointer is very small, sometimes you run by a door, press space, but you walked too far
I would suggest a feature to allow Satan to snap to soul pumps. It might make the game a little easier.
Thanks everyone! I've fixed the Windows build now.
Satan should snap to the soul pumps if you *hold* Space while running past. That's how I've managed to get my highest times (~60 seconds).
Originally it was based on tapping but I was giving myself RSI :)
This is a really well-rounded entry. I didn't last very long though. The time it takes to get from one side of the screen to the other is quite high. I love the underlying message of the game. Well done - this is what LD is all about. :)
Madness :P Can only manage just over 30 seconds of hate-spew. Great twist on the theme! :D
I really like it, got 37.90 seconds as my best score so far. A good take on the theme and I agree with your own admission, it's bizarre. What music did you play backwards?
Love it, all hail Satan.
It looks lovely, the audio stood out amongst it all.
Haha! I like the idea. :) Pretty good job for first game in Unity. I was not able to "survive" more than 20 seconds. Yes, it is so hard. Nice one!
A really unique experience. Dark, dark material! Even the music is played backward.
The hitboxes seemed a little weird, sometimes it wouldn't pump even though it looked like I was standing in the right spot and sometimes it would even teleport me over to another soul. The guy's movement, sounds and quotes were funny though :)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
