STUCK - I recommended this game BEFORE the snake puzzle (mini game)

[Papa Middy]

First off I want to say that I'm really, really enjoying this game, until now.

So I'm stuck in the Red Arrow mission have to complete a mini game of snake to proceed. I'm finding this impassable using the keyboard WASD keys. Is there any way around this? Is there any way to bypass it and continue with the campaign?

It was extremely easy even on hard, was expecting it to be more challenging tbh.

IF your having trouble (it literally made me stop playing cause I couldn't get past that point!) try this mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/atomicheart/mods/84

It confused me because I had not played the snake game before. Once I figured it out that the target object reset every time I hit the wall it was really simple.

And yes, I would certainly recommend this game. 30+ hours in and I'm still having fun.

Nah. I don’t play around with snakes. They’re venomous in my area. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I recommend using a broom or a mod to remove them from your property. ;) ;)

The snake controls not being rebound is an ongoing issue for people who don't use WASD, same with the vehicle controls not being properly rebindable, just needs to get fixed in game so mods aren't needed and default controls aren't required.

i managed to get it on keyboard... you have to be really concentrated and fast though...it s doable... took me at least 20 tries

You're old

No seriously it wasn't really hard, once you get the "don't hit wall, if it's too close wait for the point to move", and the game is programmed like a really old game with latence, once you got the timing it's really easy

On PC, you're supposed to use the arrow keys to move the snake around, but they don't work. Nothing works to control the game. I've reset the bindings, reinstalled, started a new game, deleted all config files, sacrificed a chicken (during a full AND new moon), danced widdershins around my PC while ur|nating on pictures of bill gates and stalin, aligned the PC w/magnetic north, orthogonal to the lines, while {sober|high|wired|tired|straigt}, in a house, with a mouse, argle bargle noodle zous. I do not like Atomic Heart, to me it smells just like a farte.
Plus, I've read about many other game breaking bugs.
It's not really a game if you can't play and finish it, is it?
The game clearly lacks polish and there are so many just plain stupid bugs that I'm really shocked. Well, not really, since that's how so-called AAA works.

use the Atomic Heart Plus trainer and set the game speed to 0.1 or 0.2 or 0.3 this will make the game so slow that the puzzle is very easy

Bumping this as I had to search for this topic because the puzzle is a pile of baws. The trick for me was to temporarily rebind my movement keys to arrow buttons and use them with my dominant (right) hand, as well as following the linked video advice to just go around in a square and let the diamond come to you. Went first go this way but would have been impossible with my default config.
