Description

Don’t Panic! It is Just Turbulence is a fast-paced co-op puzzle game where two players must work together to save a failing aircraft. One player sits in the cockpit as the Pilot, surrounded by chaotic instruments and malfunctioning systems. The other acts as the Air Traffic Controller, reading cryptic instructions, deciphering clues, and guiding the Pilot through each emergency. Communication is your lifeline, and the plane is as good as done.

Each aircraft offers a unique layout, puzzle set, and difficulty curve. From simple light aircraft to more complex ones, every flight introduces new modules, strange system quirks, and unexpected failures. Some puzzles test precision timing; others challenge your ability to stay calm while alarms scream, gauges spin, and the aircraft drifts out of control.

Whether you’re shouting at your best friend to “press the blue button, NOT THAT ONE!” or laughing as the entire cockpit lights up like a Christmas tree, Don’t Panic! It is Just Turbulence delivers frantic co-op chaos, teamwork highs, and unforgettable failures. Master the instructions, trust your partner, and try not to crash, emphasis on try.

Nothing in this cockpit solves itself; every puzzle depends on clear callouts. If one of you stays quiet, the whole aircraft starts drifting into chaos. Talking is literally part of the controls.

The right words at the right moment can fix anything. Precision callouts turn panic into progress, and confusion into clarity. Solve the puzzle by speaking like your life depends on it, because it does.

The moment voices drop, the cockpit turns into a disaster simulator. One missed instruction and gauges start spinning like they’re possessed. Silence is the fastest route to a mid-air meltdown.

Let chaos take over, and the aircraft quickly becomes a fireworks show. Every tiny mistake stacks until it ends with a very loud “boom.” Panic less, coordinate more, unless you enjoy explosive endings.

1. "Keep talking" is really better. This game is smaller and easier. 2. A lot of lags (low FPS) and buggy interface.

I couldn't find a way to get past the Arrow Objective where you find the right combination, if sum of flight no is odd. Which makes the game no fun, since it's just luck to pass that. It doesn't feel like a plane, tower

It's a shame, as my partner and I were really enjoying this game, but I kept running into the same issue where my monitors would lose signal, forcing me to hard restart my PC. It also seemed to heavily overheat my GPU,

Game is fun in the beginning. You really start feeling the pressure in the beginning when you're trying to figure out what everything is and how to communicate it with your partner. After a while however, this becomes

This was fun! It's clearly heavily inspired by Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, to the point where some of the modules work almost identically. For seasoned Keep Talking players this game is going to be pretty easy
