John Cooney (born in 1986 or 1987[1]), also known by his pseudonym jmtb02, is a prolific Sacramento-based game developer best-known for his numerous Flash games, many which feature a blue elephant as the player avatar, especially his metagame send-ups such as Achievement Unlocked and This is the Only Level.[2][3][4][5] He is currently the chief executive officer of Armor Games.

Life and career[]

Cooney got into development of Flash games during high school.[6] While enrolled at University of California, Davis, Cooney kept developing games and founded his own game development company, JMTB02 Studios. The money he earned through his games were enough to pay for his college tuition. In 2007, Cooney joined Armor Games as their first employee.[1][7] in 2012, he joined Kongregate, where he stayed until rejoining Armor Games in 2019 as the vice-president of business development of Armor Games Studios.[7][8] In 2021, Cooney became the CEO of Armor Games.[9][10]
