How to play Miku Flick on Mac
Game summary
Miku Flick is a rhythm game and a spin-off of the Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series of Vocaloid rhythm games. As the game is a spin-off from the Project Diva series, its gameplay differs greatly from the original series. Players can pick their songs using a Cover Flow system from a selection of 13 songs all sung by Hatsune Miku. This is the first game in the series to not feature any other Vocaloids apart from Hatsune Miku. The game has 10 tiles, arranged in a 3×3 grid with the last column having a 4th tile at the bottom. Each of these tiles has a hiragana Lyric on them, when indicated you are required to flick the tile in the indicated direction. Timing is as essential as the original game as the game still retains the points system as well as accuracy scoring system as the original series.

Play Miku Flick on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Miku Flick 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).
