Each level is a series of platforms and the llama can walk around, duck and jump to navigate. He can charge and perform head butts to attack opponents. He can also spit as a ranged attack but requires spit drops for that which he must collect. The player has a number of hit-points but can collect hearts to replenish them.
Puzzles include locked doors, switches and barriers, which mostly have to be solved using your spit or charge action in the right places.
