The Gnorp Apologue is an incremental strategy game about creatures known as gnorps. The game doesn’t tell us much about what gnorps are like, but they happen to live near a strange rock. When hit, the rock produces shards. While this is not surprising on its own, the rock doesn’t get smaller in the process. And the shards themselves seem to have magical properties, as they can be used for literally everything. Needless to say, the gnorps decide that their entire civilization must revolve around obtaining these shards, and you need to help them to fine-tune this process. There are two steps to it. First, the rock needs to be hit to generate shards. Second, the shards must be retrieved. While this sounds simple, both of these actions can be done in a multitude of ways; the fun part is figuring out the best and most optimal ones. Although Steam lists the game as available only on Windows, you can also play the Gnorp Apologue on Mac. Several unofficial tools have been developed for this purpose; to learn about them, read the guide below.

Rocket Racing is a racing game by no one other than Epic Games, the developers of Rocket League. But despite having the same developer, Rocket Racing is not like Rocket League at all. Instead, it is a rather straightforward racing game with a few interesting twists. For example, turbo acceleration was a feature in racing games since time immemorial, and so was drifting. But Rocket Racing combines these two mechanics, rewarding the players who drift frequently by recharging their acceleration meter. Your car can also jump vertically, and even fly. You won’t be getting ahead of your opponents by doing this – in fact, flying slows your car down – but these tools are often needed to avoid the game’s frequent obstacles. Finally, it is worth noting that Rocket Racing is a very quick game, with matches that last only a few minutes on average. Some may not like this, but others will find it perfect. And since you’re reading this, you clearly like the idea enough to be willing to give it a try. But how? There are several ways to play Rocket Racing on Mac; to learn about them, you need to read the guide below.

Fortnite Festival is a rhythm game developed by Epic Games. Its only connection to Fortnite itself are the playable characters and the overall aesthetic; but the way these games actually play couldn’t be more different. The gameplay formula of Fortnite Festival is exactly what you’d expect from a rhythm game. Notes fall down the screen in five lanes, and once they cross a certain threshold, the player must press a key that corresponds to their lane. Typically, the player will perform solo, but there’s also an option to play in a “band” of four people, where each person is responsible for one music instrument. There is a relatively large library of music available in the game, and new ones will be added on a regular basis. Furthermore, the players can remix the songs by layering and rearranging instrument tracks. Although Fortnite Festival is not as complex as other rhythm games on the market, it can still be enjoyable, especially for existing Fortnite fans. But, just like the main Fortnite game, Festival doesn’t have a Mac version. Thankfully, there are several unofficial ways to play Fortnite Festival on Mac. Keep reading to learn more.

LEGO Fortnite is a casual survival game developed by Epic Games. It takes place in Fortnite’s universe, but instead of fighting other players in a Battle Royale, you’ll work together to survive on a procedurally generated map. The gameplay loop is rather similar to other survival games; you’ll be gathering resources, crafting tools and upgrades, then using these tools to gather better resources. What distinguishes this game from the others is the prominence of non-player characters. By attracting NPCs into your village, you will be able to secure a slow, but infinite supply of basic resources, and recruit one of them to help you in combat. Constructing structures in this game is easy and satisfying. Obviously, all building is done with LEGO bricks, and there are so many of them that you can create pretty much anything you want. A separate creative mode disables all survival mechanics entirely, allowing players to focus entirely on building. All in all, LEGO Fortnite is a fun and relaxing game; it’s a shame it’s not available on Mac. However, there are several ways to get around this. Read the guide below to learn how to play LEGO Fortnite on Mac.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising is a fighting game developed and published by Cygames, a Japanese game development studio. The game is well-balanced and generally easy to learn, but the developers added several interesting mechanics to spice things up. Certainly, you’ll need to time your hits and score combos, but you also need to manage your bravery points, use ultimate skills, perform “raging strikes”, and so on. Fans of the original Granblue Fantasy game will appreciate Rising‘s extensive story mode, while those who are more gameplay-oriented will be happy to explore its massive character roster. There’s even a obstacle course minigame, if you want to take a break from the fighting. The game has quite a lot to offer, and can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone; even if you cannot afford the game, you can play the free version. Of course, all of this means little if your computer can’t run the game in the first place. But even though Rising doesn’t have a macOS version, there are several ways to play Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising on Mac unofficially. You can learn more by reading the guide below.

House Flipper 2 is a building simulator developed by Frozen District. It is a sequel to the original House Flipper, and follows the same formula. Your goal is to purchase houses, repair and renovate them, and then sell the result for a handy profit. The process is rather relaxing, for the most part. Expect to do a lot of cleaning, painting, and furnishing. You might also have to demolish some walls, or construct new ones. All of these features were in the original game, but House Flipper 2 also adds some new ones. For example, you now can build a house entirely from scratch, adjust height of the walls, and play user-created missions. The graphics received an upgrade as well; unfortunately, there are also several features that are missing. Before-and-after shots, a satisfying part of the first game, are nowhere to be found. Mac support was dropped as well; unlike the first game, House Flipper 2 doesn’t have a native Mac version. Thankfully, it is possible to get around this inconvenience. There are several unofficial ways to play House Flipper 2 on Mac, and you can learn about them by reading the article below.
