Highball
Which renderer to use
Highball can run each game through three different Direct3D translation layers. This is what the database knows for this title — empty rows are open questions, not failures.

No dated Highball run yet. When one lands it records the renderer, the engine build and the macOS version it was seen on — which is what stops a verdict quietly rotting. Send one.
Notes
Reported perfect on a base M4 with DXMT on the default engine (r28) over 71 minutes. The player says changing the display needs Highball restarted and the automatic resizing is a bit buggy. Steam lists a Mac version as well.
Known issues
Changing the display needs Highball restarted, and automatic resizing is a bit buggy, in the player's words (M4, Wine 10 r28, highball-db#1195)

Does Brotato work on Mac?
Yes. Steam ships a native macOS build, which will beat running the Windows version through any compatibility layer.
