How to play Sheep Patrol on Mac
Game summary
It’s time for the flock to come back to the barn. Problem is, the path is full of dangerous traps: lakes, dense forests, cliffs, etc… As a sheepdog, it’s your job to guide the flock and make sure it comes back safely. Draw a line with controllers or the touch screen to trace a path and push the sheep in one direction. Make sure to avoid obstacles so that no sheep gets lost. As a guardian dog, it’s also your duty to make sure no member of the herd gets left behind. The entire flock is depending on you and your skills. As you keep protecting the sheep, they also go further and further to graze...and the way back home gets longer and longer. But a sheepdog never gives up, so make sure to keep the flock in line.

Play Sheep Patrol on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Sheep Patrol 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).
Sheep Patrol 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 Sheep Patrol like you would on any PC.
