How to play Zen Shards on Mac
Game summary
Zen Shards is a relaxing and pleasingly simple idle game. Recommended to unwind and for stress relief.
Watch the sparks, little arrows, dash around and transform the colors of geometric shapes as they collide with them. Create more, merge them into stronger ones, purchase upgrades and unlock more stuff as the game gradually unfolds, while numbers rise into the gazillions and beyond.
Relaxing and stress-free. There is no competition and no direct challenge, you will explore and progress in your own pace, at your own time.

Play Zen Shards on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Zen Shards 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).
Zen Shards 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 Zen Shards like you would on any PC.
