How to play Alpha Wave on Mac
Game summary
Do you have 10-15 minutes to kill? Alpha Wave was made for just such an occasion! A well polished, high-speed, intense arcade space shooter with it's roots firmly planted in the old-school arcade classics such as AstroSmash, Galaga and Asteroids.
Plenty of non-stop, progressive, survival action with over 65 waves spread across 3 levels featuring a huge variety of different enemies each with their own unique behaviors along with final bosses to bring it all to an explosive finish.
Coupled with amazing special effects, leader boards, 24 achievements to unlock and an amazing musical score, Alpha Wave delivers solid quality for far less than the price of a cup of glorified, high society coffee!
Alpha Wave is fully Android controller ready and compatible with a wide array of HID ready controllers such as nVidia Shield, Xperia Play, Moga Pro, Wikipad, Mad Catz Mojo, Six-Axis and many more!
Also featured in Tegra Zone. Play it on the nVidia Shield or Shield Tablet for an absolutely epic experience!
Play Alpha Wave on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Alpha Wave 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).
Alpha Wave installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2

Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
