How to play River Striker on Mac

Game summary

You control a fighter jet in a top-down view over a river and get points for shooting down enemy helicopters, ships, planes, towers and airships. you refuel your fighter jet by flying over fuel-stations. You can shift side to side and change the speed of the plane using the innovative touch sensitive joystick. Watch out for the sea mines scattered around the river. Also shoot the towers (on the land) for bonus points. But remember, to go undetected, you must stay away from the land. So always fly over the river. When the end of a level is reached for the first time, the next level will be unlocked. A simple yet brilliant game. Are you good enough to overcome all obstacles and clear out the rivers from the enemy presence?

Play River Striker on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play River Striker 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).
