How to play Lab Rags on Mac
Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
Lab Rags is a wacky physics-based puzzle game where failure is meaningful! Use your bodies from previous attempts as pieces of the puzzle as you help yourself reach greater heights and far-away platforms.
Play as our beloved crash test dummy and pass through various levels to test the lab’s fantastic inventions! Turret in your way? Put a body in the trash compactor and now you have a shield! Can’t get to the platform above you? Jump on the trampoline bodies to reach new heights! A spike pit that’s too long and you’re lacking ammo? A sphere body is all you need to roll on the spikes with, without taking damage!
Lose yourself in this 1920’s futuristic art deco world as you wonder how to get past all the shiny and cool obstacles in your way. Shimmering gold and silky-smooth marble pave the walls and floors of these expensive labs. Within, hear the roars of the turrets decimating everything in their path, the ‘whoosh’ of wrecking balls swinging by you as you try to avoid them, the ‘ztztzt’ of the electric flooring that vaporizes all material on it, and the signature sound of the Vacuum Gun, sucking up bodies and making new ones!
“But why?” you ask. Why create this lab and these machines and these obstacles? Well, just like life, humans fail constantly. But we often forget to see the good in failing – it's meaningful. Lab Rags is built on this philosophy – that failure is good. Use your previous knowledge and past experiences to get over the next obstacle. Your past failed attempts literally help you in Lab Rags as your position, manipulate and shoot your bodies to cross, solve and advance!
We at Salt Mine Studios wish you the best and welcome you to our lab. Have fun!

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