How to play Puzzle Pests on Mac

Game summary

Puzzle Pests is a fiendishly addictive bug-based puzzle game. The aim of Puzzle Pests is simple - clear all the fleas off the game board by blowing them up, sending them through trap doors or matching four fleas of the same color in a straight line or a square formation. But beware! New fleas are being born all the time so you have to keep up with the population growth. Puzzle Pests is packed with puzzles and challenges to keep you coming back for more. Have you got what it takes to beat the pesky fleas? Hours and hours of insect fun. With three different game modes and cartoon-style graphics, you’ll never get tired of playing Puzzle Pests. Solve 100 puzzle levels, see if you can deal with increasingly more difficult levels in the Round Robin mode or test your mettle under time pressure.

Play Puzzle Pests on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Puzzle Pests on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
