How to play Xump: The Final Run on Mac

Game summary

This version of Xump is an extended remake of the puzzle game Xump: The Final Run (which in turn is similar to the C64 game Sensitive) with improved graphics and new levels. The goal is still the same: With your bot "Xump" you will have to remove all blue tiles on platforms somewhere in the sky by moving over them. A bit of planning is required, as you (obviously) can move onto such a blue tile only once. The levels have a time limit, so it's required to think quickly. Apart from the blue tiles the game also contains solid grey tiles that won't disappear, teleporters to move between two locations, bombs that act as a second layer for the tile (so you have to visit the tile twice to remove it) and arrows that will automatically push you into the arrow's direction.
First released: May 2014

Play Xump: The Final Run on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Xump: The Final Run 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).
