Brackeys lied!! Unity cloud and building for mac.


Being able to port game to multiple platforms most defintively increses chances for any game to be at least moderate sucess.

And i was overjoyed to find out that unity the endgine i am using to create Block Annihilator is capable to do this  with real ease.
Except this is not really the case.  I was told by a famous youtuber that all i need to do to build for a desired platform is to select it and build stuff. And like a fool i believed! 

I want to build for MAC!

(And i have a PC)

I want poeple on macs to be able to play my game.  Also i may be slightly overstating my claims. Brackeys tutorials are probably the best out there.  At least for me.  

But this one did not work for me. I probably am to blame but anyways my entitled but was insulted XD
 As i vas comunicating with a fellow indie he wanted to try it out and give me some feedback.
So i built a standalone mac version on my win PC.
Sent it via we transfer and he responded: 

And it was not!

At that point i already knew that as i actually tried to run mac os in a VM on my potato i5 4th gen laptop.  
What a joke. 
I managed to get it to run but Gods... Was it slow? 

Try a snail going up a slippery hill with a strong wind heading his way...

Anyways all i got was "application wont start" message.
And This guy telling me that he is sorry but he can't try out my game...

So how can i remedy this situation?

I could buy a mac.
I could find someone to loan me a mac.

I can not get a new mac now.
I do not want to buy a used one.
I can not bother people to lend me their computer so i could play around... It is just wrong...

So what do i do?

CLOUD BUILD Is there something? 

YES! 

There is!

Unity Cloud build seems awesome, but in reality To be honest i do not know what to say.
It is slow.
it is slower than  building it on my machine.

But my machine doesn't get stuck for an hour i can watch kittens on YouTube while cloud builds it for me.
So i am giving it a spin and i am sharing my results here.

And now that i have a build, i have no way of testing it...

So i am asking you mac people to test Block Annihilator for mac and tell me what is your experience with it. 

And post your comments here and tell  me did it run what was it like how do you feel about it.
