How to play Hot Pixel on Mac
Game summary
Atari goes old-school for this hip collection of mini-games that blend street culture and the digital lifestyle into a fast-paced, eccentric experience.

Atari's dipped into its rich gaming vault to create the games, forging a 2D world that challenges you to think fast and act faster. You'll blast through old-school-style video games, bust out sweet tricks on your board or BMX bike, stage dive at concerts, and much more.

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