How to Find a Specific Thejaspel Game by Genre on itch.io
Updated
The fastest way is to open the Thejaspel profile page and scan the genre tag printed under each game title, then click the title to reach its own page. The profile lists every game with a genre label, so you can narrow by type first and confirm the exact title second. This works for any visitor — no account needed to browse — and applies to all titles shown on the profile, whether they play in the browser or are sold.
How the profile is organized
Each entry on the Thejaspel page follows the same pattern: a title, a short description, the creator name, a genre tag, and a play option (either "Play in browser" or a price). Because the genre tag sits in the same position for every game, you can run your eye down that column instead of reading descriptions.
The genre tags currently used on the profile are:
| Genre tag | Games on the profile |
|---|---|
| Action | Moon Watch, Oops! No Brakes, Chain Fury, Chromophobia, Bunny Blast, Spiral Gate |
| Puzzle | FrankenGhost, ForkLift |
| Adventure | A Miner's Debts, Flower Quest |
| Strategy | Apprentice-Tower |
| Role Playing | Backpack Hero |
| Survival | Pinball Nightmare |
| Rhythm | Stuck in the Rhythm |
| Platformer | MA-3 Day, Fox Johnson |
Step-by-step: locate a game by genre
- Open the profile. Go to thejaspel.itch.io. The page loads with the full list of games and the heading "Thejaspel."
- Decide your genre. Pick the tag that matches what you want — for example, Puzzle if you're after FrankenGhost or ForkLift.
- Scan the tag column. Read only the genre line under each title until you hit your tag. Ignore descriptions on the first pass; they slow you down on a list this long.
- Match the title. Once you find the genre, confirm the title above it. If two games share a genre (Action has six), use the one-line description to tell them apart — for example, "Dodge bullets, break bricks, go on a date" identifies Escape From Hell.
- Click the title. Each game opens its own page with full details and the play or purchase option.
Expected result: you land on the individual game page, where the description, genre, and play button or price are confirmed in one place.
Genre is a starting filter, not a guarantee
The genre tag is assigned by the creator, so it reflects how the game is presented rather than a strict classification. A few things to keep in mind:
- Some titles sit between genres. Pinball Nightmare is tagged Survival even though it involves pinballs and upgrades; if you were searching under Action, you'd miss it. When a search by genre comes up empty, scan the full list once by title.
- Browser play and genre are separate signals. The genre tag tells you what kind of game it is; the "Play in browser" label or a price tells you how you can access it. Don't confuse the two when filtering.
- One title is priced. Backpack Hero is listed at $19.99 and tagged Role Playing. All other titles on the profile show "Play in browser." The profile does not state whether browser titles are free, so treat the play option as an access method rather than a price signal.
Common snags and how to get past them
- You remember a mechanic, not a genre. Use the description line instead: "forklifts in a store room" points to ForkLift, "grow flowers" to Flower Quest. The description is the most distinctive field on each entry.
- The game you want isn't in your expected genre. Check the adjacent tags — a puzzle about a robot factory (MA-3 Day) is filed under Platformer, not Puzzle.
- You need the creator, not a game. The profile header identifies Thejaspel as a game maker, designer, programmer, and pixel artist, with a Discord contact (jas #1928) and an open invitation to collaborate with developers and streamers. That information sits at the top of the page, above the game list.
If you already know the exact title, skip the genre scan entirely and use your browser's find function on the profile page — the full list is on a single page, so a title search jumps straight to the entry.
