Favorite Coolmath Games: Clicker Heroes, Block the Pig, Tube Master

 

Jon is a strategy game fanatic - his favorite games are open-ended puzzles with strategic, complex systems and creative solutions. He loves that games allow anyone to share in unique experiences, like designing a subway system in Mini Metro: London or building a civilization in Pre-Civilization Bronze Age. He has been helping discover and design games that make you think for Coolmath since 2014. 

 

In his free time, Jon enjoys biking, playing board games, card games, Nintendo, Xbox and PC games. In past lives he has helped design board games and card games, including the Chaotic Trading Card Game and the Twilight movie (yes, that Twilight) board game series.

 

Jon is a graduate of NYU’s Stern School of Business and is deeply passionate about using games as a way to help people think, learn, and grow. His accomplishments in the web gaming space have given him opportunities to share his insights as a speaker and panelist at industry events such as GDC, Gamescom and Pocket Gamer Connects.

Games Reviewed By Jonathan Keefer

Greater Than Sudoku

December 31, 1998

This is like Sudoku, but with a twist. Not only do you have to fill in the large squares with the digits 1-9, you also must obey the greater than signs!

Eine and Kleine

December 31, 1998

Fly with an umbrella, teleport, break your way through with a hammer to collect all the stars and get through each level.

Starries

December 31, 1998

This is another one that I've played tons of times. It's like Gem Swap, but instead of swapping two pieces, you slide entire rows and columns. Very fun!

Wooden Paths 2

December 31, 1998

Use transporters, magical walls and mirrors, gold blocks and dynamite to create a wooden path to cross the river.

Loop the City

December 31, 1998

I love this game! I've got lot of tips for how to do it. And, once you get the hang of it, it's fun to see how fast you can solve it. It gives a different one every time too.

Pool Geometry 2

December 31, 1998

This is just like Pool Geometry, but it's not your standard, rectangular table. These new angles change how everything works!

Galaxo Chimp

December 31, 1998

Help the chimp astronaut collect all the stars. You'll have to plan ahead and figure out some weird angles!

Fireworks

December 31, 1998

Sets of balls drop down from the top like Tetris. You get to switch up their order before they drop (if you can) so that you get rows of three of the same color.

Math Lines

December 31, 1998

This is just like our Marble Lines game, but we've made it an addition game. You have to shoot the ball that makes the right sum.

Magicians

December 31, 1998

A great level puzzler. Control multiple magicians while you collect playing cards and avoid hazards to get through each puzzling level.
