Editing Llamatron (section)

==Gameplay==
''Llamatron'' is a [[multidirectional shooter]] where the objective is to stop an invasion of Earth that is being launched by alien mutants known as the Zyaxxians.<ref name="AmigaFormat">{{cite journal|last = Evans|first = Maff|title = Llamatron 2112|journal = [[Amiga Format]]|issue = 26|page = 66|publisher = [[Future plc]]|date = September 1991}}</ref> The player's character—the eponymous Llamatron—is placed in the center of a black screen, with enemies—labelled in-game as "Grunts"—scattered across the playing area. Once the level begins, the enemies move towards the player and, if any of the enemies come into contact with the [[llama]], the player loses a life. The player's goal is to destroy every enemy on the screen with the llama's laser, which fires automatically in the direction that the llama is facing.<ref name="AmigaComputing">{{cite journal|title = Llamas with lazers|journal = [[Amiga Computing]]|issue = 41|pages = 32–34|publisher = [[Europress]]|date = October 1991}}</ref> Players can also use a second joystick to control the direction of fire or hold the firing button down to lock the firing direction regardless of movement. The keyboard can also be used instead of a joystick.<ref name="Zero">{{cite journal|title = Llamatron|journal = [[Zero (video game magazine)|Zero]]|issue = 27|page = 8|publisher = [[Dennis Publishing]]|date = January 1992}}</ref> The game includes modes that allow a second player, or an indestructible computer-controlled "droid", to assist the Llamatron.<ref name="AmigaComputing"/>

The player gains points by destroying enemies and collecting llamas, sheep, goats, and camels—known collectively as "Beasties"—that are placed on the screen at the start of the level. Upon destroying all of the enemies on a screen, the player advances to the next level.<ref name="AmigaComputing"/> Some levels, known as "Herd Waves", also require the player to collect all of the "Beasties". "Grunts" take a variety of forms, including [[Coca-Cola]] cans, kitchen utensils, cherries, [[Space Invaders]], [[Eye of Providence|Eyes of Providence]], televisions, fire hydrants, [[Zippy the Pinhead]], marijuana plants, and [[Rizla]] rolling papers. Blue brains chase after the "Beasties" and transform them into "Zombeasts", who then attempt to rush and kill the player.<ref name="AmigaComputing"/><ref name="Guardian">{{cite news|title = Llamatron|newspaper = [[The Guardian]]|page = 31|date = 11 July 1991|url = https://www.newspapers.com/clip/19696878/llamatron/|via = [[Newspapers.com]]|access-date = 1 May 2018|url-status = live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180503015115/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/19696878/llamatron/|archive-date = 3 May 2018}} {{free access}}</ref><ref name="Inquirer">{{cite news|last = Demerjian|first = Charlie|title = The Jeff Minter library has emerged|newspaper = [[The Inquirer]]|publisher = [[Incisive Media]]|date = 5 March 2007|url = https://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1028222/the-jeff-minter-library-emerged|access-date = 1 May 2018|url-status = unfit|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120925201858/http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1028222/the-jeff-minter-library-emerged|archive-date = 25 September 2012}}</ref><ref name="STNews">{{cite journal|last = Karsmakers|first = Richard|title = Software Review: Llamatron by Llamasoft|journal = ST News|volume = 6|issue = 2|date = 18 August 1991|url = http://st-news.com/issues/st-news-volume-6-issue-2/reviews/llamatron/|access-date = 1 May 2018|url-status = live|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160806120044/http://st-news.com/issues/st-news-volume-6-issue-2/reviews/llamatron/|archive-date = 6 August 2016}}</ref> Other enemies include indestructible devices that shoot screen-wide lasers, 16-ton weights that attempt to crush the player, [[hedgehog]]s that explode into spikes when destroyed, [[Mandelbrot set]]s that shoot projectiles and scream when hit, and a large [[toilet]] that throws rolls of toilet paper at the player.<ref name="AmigaFormat"/><ref name="Inquirer"/><ref name="STNews"/> The game contains 100 levels,<ref name="AmigaFormat"/> in addition to a tutorial and a high-score table.<ref name="STNews"/>

The player can collect power-ups to assist them in their task, such as smart bombs that damage all of the enemies, extra lives, invincibility, and hearts that attract the "Beasties" to the player. There are also items that allow shots to bounce off of walls, split into three, and become "hot bullets", which deal extra damage. "Warps" add 50,000 points and immediately move the player ahead five levels. The "Floyd bonus" grants extra points and is shaped like the artwork from [[Pink Floyd|Pink Floyd's]] ''[[The Dark Side of the Moon]]'' album.<ref name="AmigaFormat"/> In two-player mode, each player shares the score and the power-ups, but both players lose a life if one player dies.<ref name="AmigaComputing"/>
