My Name is Mayo strips the idle game down to its absurdist core: you click a jar repeatedly to unlock achievements and branching narrative paths. It's less a game than a self-aware joke about clicker fatigue, though some players find unexpected existential commentary beneath the repetitive tapping. Best approached as a brief novelty rather than a substantial time sink.
About this game
This is a clicking adventure that simulates the real-life tapping of a Mayo Jar! You will unveil its story and (maybe) you will learn from it!
What players are saying
▼ Not recommended0 hrs
What to say, you click till you get RSI and unlock 50 achievements. The game has nothing extra over other FREE clicker games. For a $1 normal price you can buy yourself much more fun things then this. Like a real yar of Mayo.
No long review here, it is just a clicker game in the purest sense. You click through various story branches where each next option requires you to click x more times after selecting the current achievement from the pause menu. While the story itself is interesting, it is not deep at all. The whole game is more a joke game, an anti-clicker game that is not as bad as the one in the Basement Collection,[1] but dull enough in gameplay terms that you need to reflect on your gaming habits. Do you play games for achievements? Great, grab this, click 10k times and have another 100 percent in under an hour! Do you play for fun? Then avoid this! Or if you really play it, take the lesson you get from it, which is how stupid clicker games really are, why they only work as idle games, and even then only as glorified Skinner boxes.
Graphics: The graphics are like a flash game. There is not a wide variety, but the different mayo jar styles are humorously done.
Sound: The sound consists of a forgettable track and minimalistic sound effects.
Gameplay: Clicker. Without any gains from idling. 10k clicks (pause menu to choose storyline excluded) and you are done.
Recommended? No, I can not recommend this at 59 cent, or the standard price of 99 cent. This is made to be a joke gift to your friends, but buying for yourself would be silly unless you go for achievements. But even then, you could have gotten games that are more fun and longer in the last sale.

I clicked a mayonnaise bottle wearing a bikini 10.000.... In the end the game had a deeper meaning and made me realise something"What Am I Doing With My Life?"
The third, the myth, the legend... the end of an era. Mayo will meet the ultimate destiny in this last journey. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11634242/15021fbbeef119bff8a241ab25e58966b49196c5.png It’s time to get down and groovy with Mayo once again, as we release a nifty end to the trilogy nobody asked for! My Name is Mayo 3 is out and about! So uncover the weird stories, click the jar, and (literally) walk along Mayo’s toughest journey. Maybe you’ll learn from it! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1779460/My_Name_is_Mayo_3/ Once again, we’re very thankful for your love of Mayonnaise! Cheers, Sean Callaghan Community Manager Sage
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/11634242/dd83fb1fb523f7b94e333cf7e92fd026ac3e4a4a.png In a world... where Mayonnaise is all but forgotten, this sole sequel could rekindle the flames of its former glory... Huh? Too much of a dramatic kickoff you say? You won't think that when you play the new game! That's right, the Team at Green Lava released a sequel for My Name is Mayo!
