How to play International Space Banana on Mac

Game summary

Take control of aerospace scientist turned banana as you attempt to retrace your steps across 8 unique, punishing levels through this seemingly abandoned space station. "Flight" your way through various obstacles from floating crates to spinny things, plus doors and buttons, which would be fine if you had hands to operate them... but you don't, so there's that. International Space Banana features painfully accurate physics simulations, battle against the seemingly endless impossibility of the trajectory of curved objects moving in zero-gravity. As though life as a banana in space isn't rough enough, add insult to injury as you attempt to take on the most basic of tasks such as passing through automatic doorways before they close, problem solving your way through (not very) complex obstacle courses and more. All you really have to do is generate enough applied force to worm your way through a maze of literal junk. Don't even worry about drag because you know, it's space, so that's one less mountain to climb, just get yourself to the control station. It really could not be simpler.

Play International Space Banana on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play International Space Banana 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).

International Space Banana installation steps for Mac
