How to play SNIKS on Mac

Game summary

Are they caterpillars? Are they worms? They’re SNIKS! Multicoloured little snakes, hungry for fruits. Some of them are into strawberries, others into pears and all the other good stuff. There’s only one problem: They keep getting in one another‘s way while eating. Your task: Untie the Gordian Knot of SNIKS and help them eat all the fruits. SNIKS is something for your brain, making you puzzle your way through 110 handcrafted levels. SNIKS is also a feast for the eyes: Tasty fruits, hand-drawn environments and colorful sniks form a beautiful fruit salad.

Play SNIKS on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play SNIKS 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).

SNIKS 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 SNIKS like you would on any PC.
