How to play Archer Maclean's Mercury on Mac
Game summary
From the mind of developer Archer Maclean comes Mercury, a puzzle game that lets you guide the metallic substance through a series of challenging puzzles. Without spilling too much, you must control your colored mercury blobs around 3D mazes simply by tilting the level. Negotiate obstacles and hazards, solve puzzles, and compete against time and percentage limits while avoiding traps and predators. In addition to the single-player mode, Archer Maclean's Mercury also features multiplayer battle and ghost modes.

Play Archer Maclean's Mercury on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Archer Maclean's Mercury 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).
