How to play BlastArena.io on Mac

Game summary

Blastarena is an incredibly fun free for all arena game where you play as a small blocky character and place bombs in order to clear terrain and kill the other bombers. This game was originally based on the classic indie game bomberman and it does it great justice as its is similarly addictive! If you never played the original fear not as Blastarena.io is just as fun to play alone or with friends. How to play In the Blast arena its every man for himself, your objective is to be the last bomber standing either through killing everyone or waiting for them to kill each other! Destroy terrain to make your way around the map and collect the power ups they drop such as movement speed, extra bombs and bomb range in order to become a bigger threat. Bomb explosions can only travel in straight lines from where the bomb was placed, use this knowledge to your advantage and avoid standing in the fire or its game over! Controls Use the WASD or arrow keys to navigate throughout the map and use the space bar to drop a bomb. Just remember that you can only place one bomb at a time at the start and you can be killed by anyones bombs including your own!

Play BlastArena.io on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play BlastArena.io 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).
