In Cosmic Canidae, you play the role of a Spacerancher who has been tasked with stewardship of the Neon Wolf population on the edges of our solar system. If the population becomes unbalanced a delicate biosphere of non-carbon lifeforms will fail and the ripple effects of that failure will cause the Moon to crash from orbit into NeoTokyo!!! Be quick and decisive as you play this top-down simulation game of timing and balanced interaction, and you'll succeed brilliantly.

In order to pull this off, you'll need to carefully manage the balance of Neon Wolves, Lolirusa Deer, and space vegetation. 

Be strong, Spacerancher - save the gas belt, save the Moon, and SAVE NEOTOKYO!
