How to play Carnage on Mac

Game summary

Carnage is a browser-based competitive multiplayer game. You play as an ever growing snake and are placed in an arena against another snake. You each try to survive as long as possible without running into your own tail, the opponent, or the wall. The biggest part of the game is the rating system. Everyone begins at 1500 rating, and as players get win or lose, they go up or down in rating. The strongest players will eventually end up in the 2500+ range, while the weaker players will sink to the hundreds. There is a live leaderboard which shows the best player at all times. The game is updated weekly based on gamer feedback and suggestions.

Play Carnage on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Carnage 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).

Carnage 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 Carnage like you would on any PC.
