How to play Hoggy on Mac

Game summary

Hoggy is a fun puzzle platformer that combines the best elements of classic side-scrolling video games with a unique puzzle flavor! You control Hoggy. Your girlfriend has been kidnapped by the moon men, and the only way to get her back is to eat all the fruit out of 45 crazy jar-worlds! The game has simple controls. Tip your iPhone to move Hoggy left or right, and touch the screen to reverse his gravity. Use your reflexes to grab all the fruit in each level, and use your mind to force your enemies to grab the fruit you can't reach! It's a great retro-arcade experience! If you love side scrollers and arcade action, you'll love Hoggy!

Play Hoggy on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Hoggy 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).

Hoggy 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 Hoggy like you would on any PC.
