How to play Mage Drops on Mac

PlatformsPlatform, Computer

Game summary

Mage Drops is a magical golf-like platformer. It combines traditional golf and minigolf with elements of puzzle platforming, and a twist of fantasy magic. Mage Drops evolves the hit-and-wait formula of golf by adding magic: shots can be influenced mid-flight and elements of the world can be influenced like pinball bumpers, flippers, bullets, clouds, portals and more! The environment itself is full of magical capabilities. Some can be used to your advantage, and some are hazards and traps: shots can cling to jelly walls, bounce off bubbles, be propelled by explosions, float on clouds, burn away obstacles with fire, gain powers by flying through magic rings, stimulate plants to grow into new platforms and much more!

Play Mage Drops on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Mage Drops 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).
