Game summary

Paint Chips is a free-to-play online 2D multiplayer top-down shooter where the goal is to paint the ground in as much of your team paint color as you can and to chip your foes with weapons that produce paint. Both paint score and kills are counted toward your total score at the end of each match. You can group up with up to 7 friends or be randomly teamed up and matched against up to 7 other players to battle across a variety of different maps. Before a quick play match begins you are able to vote for your favorite map and team color. There is also a weekly leaderboard that you could compete with others to reach for a top ten spot each week. The item shop includes over a hundred different character customization options. You just need to earn the in-game currency called Chips by playing matches and completing daily challenges to be able to purchase your favorite items in the Item Shop. You can also spend money to buy the in-game purchasable currency called Bukkits to be able to purchase your favorite items even quicker. There are special limited time events that have limited timed items that are available for purchase to keep even after the event is over. Some events include a limited time map that you can only play during the special events as well! You can host custom private matches with your friends or practice on your own and test your skills against some bots!

Play Paint Chips on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Paint Chips 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).

Paint Chips 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 Paint Chips like you would on any PC.
