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.

Extreme Parking Mania 2

December 31, 1998

This one's even more extreme. We pulled out all the stops. I won't ruin it for you by telling you anything else. Get the driving down and find out for yourself.

Count Cubes

December 31, 1998

This one is super easy at first... But then you have to start counting cubes that must be hiding behind other cubes. That's when you have to start thinking.

Nutty Yums

December 31, 1998

Cut the ropes to help the nutty squirrel to gather all the nuts for the hungry baby squirrel. Really, you do NOT want that little critter to start crying.

Gluey

December 31, 1998

Group and remove blobs of the same color to get them to disappear. If you want to win, you're going to have to think and plan ahead!

Parking Mania 2

December 31, 1998

Finally, a sequel to our most popular driving game! More things to figure out as you drive by the beach, in the city and the snow!

Civiballs

December 31, 1998

When you cut the chain, how will the ball swing? Get the colored balls into their matching buckets... But, you'll need to do some planning!

Castle Defense

December 31, 1998

You must defend the castle by shooting the oncoming enemy before they reach the end of the road. You earn money to buy more weapons.

Fractone

December 31, 1998

Click on the fraction squares to make pairs that have a sum of 1... and do it as fast as you can!

Knight Switch

December 31, 1998

A classic logic game. You have four knights on a small board and just have to switch the position of the two colors. Can you do it in as few moves as possible?

Whack a Difference

December 31, 1998

This is like those "Whack a Mole" games, but you whack the thing that's different. Just like hitting your TV screen while watching Sesame Street!
