How to play Hexa on Mac
Game summary
Blocks in groups of three will descend from the top of the screen. They are aligned vertically and will have a colored symbol within. You must place them on the stack so as to have three of a kind in rows in any direction. If you press the Rotate button, the bottom block will move to the top, thus shifting the pattern. If you press the Power Blocks button, the next triplet to fall will be three blocks, all with a red 'P' in them. Whatever color/symbol the power blocks land on top of will disappear from the screen, thus maybe making several three-way line ups. You get only two "Power Blocks" in the first level.

Play Hexa on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Hexa 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).
Hexa 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 Hexa like you would on any PC.
