Which model Mac do you have? Can you launch the game in windowed mode, in a small window, and have Activity Monitor open at the same time. When it starts to freeze can you look at the memory used and look for any spikes after you click to the desktop then back to the game.
This is on a macbook pro intel. Interestingly it doesn't happen in windowed mode. I immediately opened mission control and hopped over to activity monitor and all the numbers are the same as when it's in windowed mode.

Need more info than that - specific model, year, CPU, GPU, RAM, macOS

Can you not go via Mission Control but have the game window open and Activity Monitor and watch the activity when you're playing. You can resize the game window by clicking a corner and dragging. Even though you're not getting the freezing in windowed mode it would be interesting to look at memory usage whilst playing.
