How to play Pocket Sheep on Mac

Game summary

They are tiny. They are cute. They need your help. Be a great shepherd! Guide a flock of tiny sheep through 30 beautiful hand-drawn levels - use your fingers to keep the sheep together and steer them to safe pastures. It's the simple, smooth and relaxing multi-touch game casual gamers will love. Watch the sheep try to stick together, but panic when crowded. They're scared of your fingers and dangerous volcanoes and they wander around and get into trouble if left unattended. With no high scores or time limits, and with an all-original soothing soundtrack, it's a great way to pass the time.

Play Pocket Sheep on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Pocket Sheep 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).

Pocket Sheep installation steps for Mac

Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2

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 Pocket Sheep like you would on any PC.
