How to play Switchero - Dash n' retry on Mac

Game summary

Developed by a one-man studio from France, Switchero is a challenging arcade game inspired by retro platformers. It began as an idea of combining skill-based mechanics I loved from 80s games with a simple 2-touch interface. I wanted to share the excitement of finally beating a tough boss or level with players all around the world, so I made it free. Jump, switch or teleport through hard levels and haunting soundtracks. Test your reflexes with its unique mix of runner and space shooter gameplay! Features: • Immersive synthwave experience • Beautiful world-switching mechanism • Teleport, swing, slow time and much more • Shoot and dodge your way through each level boss • 70+ achievements to unlock
First released: Nov 2017

Play Switchero - Dash n' retry on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Switchero - Dash n' retry 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).
