Progress in one game can yield unexpected results in another

Jim Crawford, best known for the notoriously strangeFrog Fractions, is putting together a game jam built around the idea of creating games compatible withSHARECART1000. What’s special about SHARECART1000? It is a system that allows for save files in one game to be read and interpreted in other games within the ecosystem.

Some neat interactions show up as a result. Some games may feature areas that are completely inaccessible without modifying the save file in a different game and then coming back. The best-known title that works within the system is probably Kyle Reimergartin’sFjords.
