Game summary

Death Rings of Jupiter is a 2d retro bullet hell shooter, set in the dense asteroid fields that make up the rings of Jupiter. It features original gameplay that mixes classic gravity games and platformers. Hidden somewhere in the rings of Jupiter, there is treasure, and it's guarded by an infestation of alien monsters. You steal a ship, fire up your percolator and set the controls for the epic gas giant. While you dust off your trusty lasers, fear creeps into the back of your mind. No one that has gone into the rings of Jupiter has ever returned.

Play Death Rings of Jupiter on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Death Rings of Jupiter 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).
