The gameplay, such as it is. Make the wrong move and you'll get the cold shoulder; make the right moves and you might just get her phone number True to its 'brand-building' objectives, the game is riddled with advertisements for Axe products - they even operate as a power-up to boost your mojo when things are going a bit Bobby and Whitney. If you can stomach this sort of blatant commercialism, not to mention the sickening appropriation of youth culture by one of the world's biggest corporations Unilever , then Mojo Master may be worth a glance.
It is, after all, free. In a shady area along the San Francisco wharf, a scientist's magical artifact accidentally transforms him into a cockroach - and you play as the roach. The creepy crawly one-player action challenges you to regain your human form with only the abilities of a roach and the guidance of a few animal friends. The seamlessly integrated puzzles pose tasks like figuring out how a roach could turn off the pilot light on a stove. In this Kafkaesque graphic adventure game, Roger you must scurry through the walls of a run down San Francisco bar trying to restore his memory and his human form while avoiding spiders, a roach eating cat, and other creatures that live in the bar.

I was always the little man, the square peg, the forgotten one. So I decided to do something about it. The voice belongs to Roger Samms, an unhinged entomologist who specializes in developing new ways to exterminate one of the world's oldest life forms: roaches. He's gotten his hands on enough money to live the good life in a poor country and is about to make his break.
And then he picks up his mother's amulet. Turns out to be an amulet with magical powers: a mojo. It turns Roger into a roach. Bad mojo? Get the item you ordered or get your money back.
