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
Twins
December 31, 1998This is like Shisen, but easier because you are just matching balls of the same color that can be connected by no more than three lines.
Coffee Shop
December 31, 1998A great business game where you run your own coffee shop. You have to plan your budget, your recipe and how much to charge.
Water Jars
December 31, 1998This is an old standard when it comes to logic puzzles. You've got two jars and need to use them to figure out another amount of water.
Venture: Capital
December 31, 1998How well do you know your US state capitals? This game gives you three ways to test yourself: choose it, spell it and locate it!
Lizard Row Slide
December 31, 1998I like this one because it's easier than those nearly impossible "slider" games. With this one, you can deal with one row at a time. I can actually solve this one!
Pattern Memory
December 31, 1998The computer briefly shows you a pattern on the board... Then, it disappears and you have to reproduce it.
Seesaw Logic
December 31, 1998I really like this one. It seems really easy at first, then you really have to think. You are shown a bunch of objects on scales and have to figure out which one is heaviest.
Piles of Balls
December 31, 1998Clumps of balls drop down from the top and you have to rotate them so that they form groups of three or more of the same color. Can you keep up with this one?
Rubik's Cube
December 31, 1998This is a computer version of a Rubik's Cube. You can twist it all around to check for your next moves.
Wolf, Sheep and Cabbage
December 31, 1998This one's another classic. You have to get a wolf, a sheep and a head of cabbage across the river... so that nothing (or no one) gets eaten in the process.
