Overview

My Name is Mayo is a short, click spam game where you click on a jar of mayo in order to uncover different stories told in one-liners that are also achievements. I will try to write this review as serious as possible, though... come on. This is meant to be a joke. (I hope!)

The Pros:

It's a teeny bit fun - And by that I mean, it's so bad it's good. You get a chuckle during your first (an hopefully only playthrough)
Great Gag Gift - When this goes on sale, it's half a buck. Not even a real jar of mayo can't beat that price. Send them to your friends before you give them the actual gift.
Easy Achievements - Half an hour of clicking (I suggest making a click macro if you can, so as not to wear your mouse for no reason) and you get 50 easy achievements along with a perfect game!
Trading Cards - At this point, every stupid game on Steam has these. Let them idle so you can at least return your investment a bit.
Leaderboards?! - This actually has a Steam Leaderboard that ranks you based on how many times you've tapped the mayo jar. Some of these entries (although clearly illicit) show just what people can do out of boredom.

The Cons:

It costs money - While one buck is not going to break the bank, I can't think of any reason to spend it on this. There are loads other even stupider games that go for free. Unless you're in for the achievements and / or trading cards, go elsewhere.
Could have been... longer? - Although I don't regret not being able to play this game more, it had the potential for the joke. Much more content could have been put in, even if it made it would make it in a cookie clicker clone.

Conclusion:

Seriously now, I love myself some occasional $h!ts and giggles, but at some point you have to draw the line between what should be somewhere on Newgrounds with a donate button, and an actual game for sale on Steam. There's nothing wrong with this game (apart from everything) but Steam just is not the place for it.

There is a game out there that is similar to this one. "Exoptable Money" I believe. You dont even have to click. You only have to wait. (And it doesnt cost money) But while you were waiting the cruel story came up to the surface and made you think. Just as well as its sequel where it was slightly more interactive and a direct follow up to the story of the first game. (And by story I MEAN story.

I wanna be honest. I dont get any of the good points this game presents to you but we are all different so may it be as it is. I have seen many games, on Newgrounds for example with a ton more content and yet they were for free. Its just sad to see when it comes to games that stuff like this exists and wants money from someone to be played.
