How to play Tinertia on Mac

PlatformsPlatform, Computer

Game summary

Tinertia places you on an unknown planet in the role of Weldon, a small but extraordinary robot. While on a mission to survey the planet, Weldon is entrapped by an evil entity called the ARC. Stranded on this eerie and hostile world, Weldon must stage a heroic escape in order to survive! Equipped with a trusty rocket launcher arm, you must master the skill of rocket-jumping to traverse expansive, maze-like environments. Tinertia’s platforming mechanics are entirely physics-based, giving you immense freedom of movement. There’s no top speed and you can keep adding to your momentum. Launch yourself over deadly obstacles, take on bossy robots, and ultimately escape off the planet – Weldon’s survival depends on it!

Play Tinertia on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Tinertia 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).

Tinertia 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 Tinertia like you would on any PC.
