About the game
"simple ,but hard.
Playing latest games is like work.
Getting together with friends, fighting bosses—that’s all cool, but having some time for yourself is pretty awesome too.
There are times we like to spend some time alone having fun, and taking on challenges in a game is an awesome way to do just that.
ALPHA, the latest work by KANAME, is a simple game. There are no additional in-game purchases: once it's yours, you can begin tackling it until you reach the end. Maybe it’s time to take a break from playing games for other people.
Key features of ALPHA
- A single-player action shooting game. Quite a challenging one, in fact.
- Average play time of 2 hours (or, if you like to spend more time, as long as you want)
- Knock off enemy bullets with your sword to shoot and slash your way through stages.
- No save points during stages. Enemies are tough, and so are the bosses. Study their moves and work around them.
- When it’s game over, you start over from the beginning of the stage. You won’t be getting it easy!
- Some health items, shields, bombs, etc. are just a few useful items.
- All this for a small price."

ALPHA on Mac through Parallels Desktop
If you've been using a Mac for any amount of time after switching from a Windows machine, you've certainly heard of Parallels. Parallels is a virtualization software that allows you to use another operating system withing your native OS. This means that you will have access to a full Windows installation on your Mac.
This is the safest way to run any Windows game on Mac, including ALPHA. Read on for easy to follow instructions on how to run ALPHA on your Mac within minutes.
Here's the best part: you only need to do the setup once. After that, you will be able to install games on your Mac just as easily as you can on a Windows machine.
ALPHA on Mac - how to install
Step 1
Visit the Parallels website and get the latest version of Parallels Desktop.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will ask you to do so).
Step 3
When asked, download and install Windows 10. The download is roughly 5.7GB. At various points in the installation process it will ask you for permission, make sure you grant it.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are done with the setup. All you need to do is install ALPHA normally like you would on any Windows computer.
