I *think* I got this working for touch-based devices like phones and tablets. Let me know whether or not it works, if you try it!

Llama Land

Game Basics

Your llama is hungry! Use the arrow keys (or gamepad) to move your llama around the screen, to eat plants.

As you move, your llama's neck will stretch. Be careful not to run into yourself or another llama! Every time you do, you will lose one Boliviano of your money.

If you have multiple llamas, you can switch to the next one with the space bar (gamepad right ).

Eating Plants

Every time your llama eats a delicious plant, it produces another skein of yarn for you to use to earn money later.

But be careful! Your llama can only eat dark green plants, or plants with flowers of its own color. If it eats plants with flowers of a different color, it will get sick! You'll have to pay big money to heal your llama.

Gray plants make all llamas sick.

A Tasty Treat

There's another kind of plant that grows in Bolivia that llamas just love: Alfalfa! Alfalfa has flowers with a dark purple color.

All your llamas can eat alfalfa. They like it so much that they run up to get it. It makes their necks retract, so they'll get out of the way of the other llamas.

Day and Night

Make hay while the sun shines! Your llamas can only eat during the daytime. To see how far along the day is, check out the graph at the top of the screen.

When the day comes to an end, the moon will come out. Then you'll be able to turn the yarn you earned into things to sell at market.

If you want to end the day early, just press Z on your keyboard (up on gamepad)

Balancing Act

Being a llama farmer in the Bolivian Altiplano is difficult work! You can earn money at night by knitting and weaving your llama yarn into goods to sell at market. Smaller items can earn money faster, but larger items can bring in more money, at the cost of waiting for more yarn.

You can also buy more land and more llamas. More land means your llama might not be able to cover it all in a single day. More llamas give you more time to graze, but be careful you don't stuff too many llamas in a tiny plot of land!

Game Over

It gets very cold in the high altitude of the plains at night. It costs 2 Bolivianos to keep each llama warm until the next day. If you don't have enough cash on hand, it's game over!

Game Modes

Easy: Every llama can eat all the plants in your field.

Normal: Just like it says in the instructions.

Spicy: If you want to end a day early, it'll cost you 1 Bs for every turn left in the day. So be careful you don't get your llama trapped without much money on hand!

Muy Picante: No more changing llamas by hand! If you have more than 1 llama, they each get to move in turn. Don't get confused!
