From there you should be able to open the Core Defender app from the finder and the game should play. There is likely an easier way to do this, but this is what worked for me to test the game on mac.
After a long night of visiting questionable websites, your computer has become infected with a legion of viruses! As we speak, the viruses are marching towards your computer's core in the hopes of destroying it.
The core must be defended at all costs. If the viruses are successful, all your data is at risk! Your schoolwork, your gaming library, even your 2 terabyte folder of Big Chungus memes; all will be lost if the viruses breach the core!
Fortunately, you have tools at your disposal to help fight back against the viruses. You can place towers along the viruses' path to deal them some damage, and the core is equipped with a few abilities that will help you defeat the virus menace.
I know he doesn't look very happy to be here, but I assure you that his level of artificial intelligence is too low to feel happiness, so don't worry! Equipped with only a basic launcher, this tower is the cheapest of the bunch. Don't let his low price fool you, however, he can still dish out some solid damage.
Inspired by everyone's favorite pigeon-obsessed father of electrical current, the shock tower constantly emits a cloud of electricity that damages viruses that are within its short range.
Sniper towers hit hard and have incredible range all at the cost of firing much more slowly than other towers. A worthy investment, the sniper tower has been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Qaeda and has over 300 confirmed kills.
This tower shoots a blast of projectiles that spread out in a small cone at enemies. While capable of dealing massive damage to enemies at close range if all projectiles hit, any projectiles that miss could possibly hit another enemy instead.
While not dealing any damage itself, this tower buffs the damage of any towers it is next to. Sometimes even towers need a little support (especially that basic tower, look at how grumpy he is).
Use this ability to suspend any virus processes for a few seconds, allowing your towers to easily fire on unmoving targets!
Tired of waiting for your towers to do all the work? Well, now you can fight back yourself! This ability allows you to deal damage directly wherever you click while it is active. Watch out though, it'll drain your money while active, so don't forget to turn it off!

While active, this ability halves all incoming damage to the core, but drains your money over time (so don't forget to turn it off).
The ultimate ability: completely reboot the system, removing all enemies from the map. Be warned that this ability will not work on bosses!
The most basic form of virus, these guys tend to be slow and weak. But don't be fooled, in a large group they'll hit you pretty hard. Comes in both blue and red variants, the latter of which is slightly stronger.
Inspired by a real computer worm from the early 2000's, you'll likely hate these love-filled bugs. Starting off slow, ILOVEYOU viruses get slightly faster the more damage they take.
An elite virus, you'd better do your best to make sure these guys don't damage the core. Mucher viruses are faster and stronger than regular viruses.
The most dangerous virus in Core Defender. Slow and tanky, the purple virus will take a lot of hits to take down. If you can defeat the purple viruses, you should consider yourself a master core defender!
