How to play Boner on Mac

Game summary

Inspired by the old Boulder Dash game that I played endlessly as a kid I have released a new game called Boner where you get to guide a dog to collect bones, coins, diamonds, etc through a wide range of levels that become increasingly difficult as the game goes on. Each level requires thoughtful consideration in order to collect the required amount of bones within the allotted time. Throughout the game you will need to avoid Mandy the evil witch as she will steal your diamonds, coins and even your home and given the opportunity will kill your dog. Avoid her mindless helpers and enlist the support of the Abz and Tilly's to achieve your goals. The few people that have had the opportunity to test the game so far have loved it so feel free to give it a try and let me know what you think. At this stage I've only released the game on Android however I'm working towards an Apple version. The game is a free download in the Google Play store.
First released: Nov 2016

Play Boner on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Boner 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).

Boner installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
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
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Boner like you would on any PC.
