How to play splix.io on Mac

Game summary

Splix.io is an online multplayer game where you have to conquer as much land as possible and become the biggest of them all. You can move your player around using the arrow keys or wasd. If you're in your own area, you're safe, but once you leave your area you'll leave a trail behind, once anyone (including yourself) hits that trail, you die. When you get back to your area, the blocks that you have surrounded will be yours. But watch out, because anyone can steal back those blocks at any time. If you surround a couple of blocks while there is another player inside, the land won't get filled with your blocks.

Play splix.io on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play splix.io 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).
