Dijkstra's Ghost

Four hunters. One shared Dijkstra-map system. No per-enemy A*.

Dijkstra's Ghost is a compact ten-maze arcade chase about reading the field beneath the action. Clear every pellet, survive changing hunter patterns, and reveal the navigation overlay whenever you want to see the costs and downhill directions driving each decision.

 Four hunters, four field rules

- **Hunter** follows the direct player-centered distance field.

- **Ambusher** aims ahead of your current direction.

- **Weaver** blends field scores to approach from another angle.

- **Drifter** switches between pursuit and scatter pressure.

Press **F**—or use the on-screen **Field** button—to cycle through the live field for each hunter. The overlay shows cell costs, downhill arrows, and the data behind the next move.
