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.

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

Find the Pair

December 31, 1998

How fast can you find the two things that are the same size, shape and color?

Parking Mania: Zoo Escape

December 31, 1998

We got a LOT of requests for this game! The driving is easier than our "extreme" versions and you get to rescue animals. What could be better?

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.

Tower of Hanoi

December 31, 1998

Stack the disks in the proper order! Create colorful towers by stacking the disks from smallest to largest based on the color.

Worlds Hardest Game 2 Gameplay

World's Hardest Game 2

December 31, 1998

A great sequel to The World's Hardest Game... Now, there are two of them! I can barely get past the first level, but I've seen it done and it's possible. Good luck!

Lucky Clover

December 31, 1998

Have you ever looked for four leaf clovers? Finding one is supposed to bring good luck. Can you find the ones hidden in this game?

Green Leprechauns

December 31, 1998

You need to put leprechauns in the area to turn the entire area green. When you put a leprechaun in, it will turn all the blocks it can see green.

Field Separation

December 31, 1998

I thought this one was boring - until I figured it out. Now, I think it's great. The trick is that the fields must be big squares or rectangles. Find a good place to start.
