How to play Protologic on Mac

Game summary

In this simple yet addictive game you will have to move marbles of various colors on a game board. The slots for the marbles are organized into pyramids; there is one main pyramid in the center and one or more supplemental pyramids around it. The game starts with the main pyramid fully filled with randomly shuffled marbles. Your goal is to move the marbles back and forth between the pyramids so that all marbles in the main pyramid are sorted by color (all marbles of the same color are on the same row). You can only move the marbles laying on top of other marbles (and don't have any marbles on top of them) and you can only move them to another slot in the same or any other pyramid where they will be on top of other marbles as well. You can set up your own board by selecting the size of the main pyramid and the number and sizes of supplemental pyramids. You can also play a scenario (easy, medium, or hard) where you need to go through a sequence of levels with time or count limits.

Play Protologic on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Protologic 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).

Protologic 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 Protologic like you would on any PC.
