This right here, I thought i was missing some setting, but this is just weird.
Was looking forward to play snakepass for quite some time and the got heartbroken when i realized that the tank controls seem to be skimped in such an unintuitive way =/

Maybe if there was an alternative mode to lock the camera to the movement so it becomes something like a first snake slithering simulator, that would be cool too i guess

Still a great game tho, will just have to take a lot of time to get used to...

+1, came here to suggest exactly that. I want A to always turn left/counterclockwise and D to always turn right/clockwise. I expect moving a snake properly to take some practice, but I do not expect it to be inconsistent. I press D, I turn right. I press A to turn left... and I keep turning right?

It may or may not be a great game in other respects, but it's going to stay on my virtual shelf for now. Inconsistent controls are not where I seek my challenge.
