Carrion is a 2D side-scrolling game where you play as a globular, sinewy monster, trapped in an underground laboratory. You use your prehensile tendrils to move through space like an airborne virus, and unlock special abilities over the course of the game. The puzzles aren't particularly difficult but can be clever and satisfying to solve as you unlock more powers and take down meek, bipedal enemies.
