How to play Flix the Flea on Mac

Game summary

Flix is a flea who lives on a Dog, who in turn lives on a space-exploring rocket-ship. While exploring a new planetoid, Flix takes an unfortunate nosedive into a chasm. It's your mission to guide Flix up and out of monster infested caves in the hopes of getting him back to his rocket-ship and the sanctuary of his cozy doggie home. Highly inspired by the wonderful 8-bit classic "La Pulga" (AKA: Bugaboo), Flix The Flea returns to an almost forgotten sub-genre of cutesome flea-based platform games, with a host of fresh environments and features, creating just the right balance of fun and frustration for a very entertaining & addictive gaming experience!

Play Flix the Flea on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Flix the Flea 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).
