How to play Pixelus Deluxe on Mac
Game summary
Claudius has got shipwrecked on the Island of Pixelus. The island gods are upset because their temple floors are broken. To get back home, you need to appease the gods by restoring the floor mosaics. There are nine temples with 201 puzzles in total that are unlocked by fixing a certain amount of floors.
Pixelus Deluxe can be considered a remake of the 2001 GBA game Guru Logi Champ. For each puzzle, the player receives a limited number of tiles that need to be locked in blank spots. Claudius can move around the mosaic and fling the tiles. To stop a tile in its tracks, barriers need to be set up. Medals are earned when the player beats the "world record" of each puzzle by using the minimum number of moves. Next to the regular mode, there is an expert mode in which the undo, reset and hint function are not available.
Play Pixelus Deluxe on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Pixelus Deluxe 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).
