John Cooney (born ), also known by his pseudonyms jmtb02 and Wonderful Elephant, is an American game developer and former chief executive officer of Armor Games. He is best known for his numerous Flash games, many of which feature a blue elephant as the player avatar, including Achievement Unlocked and This is the Only Level.

Life and career Cooney got into development of Flash games during high school. 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. 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. In 2017, JMTB02 Studios rebranded to Wonderful Elephant. In September 2021, Cooney became the CEO of Armor Games. In May 2023, Armor Games announced that they would be publishing The Elephant Collection, a compilation of several of Cooney's Flash games. The following month, he announced that he would be stepping down as CEO.
