How to play Lazersilk on Mac
Game summary
In Lazer Silk, you play as a spider who rules over an elliptical web. Flower petals, flies, and wasps will intermittently blow in from a central vortex, and deposit themselves in your web. The spider can move across all quadrants of the spider web, and gains points by collecting flies and flower petals. If they are not cleared quick enough, they will leave a hole in the web which can not be traversed. If the spider touches a wasp, they will lose a life. Other spiders will descend vertically through the web, and they must be avoided. Small chewing insects will invade the web, and chew pieces out of your home. There are even enemies that incessantly chase the player.

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