About this game

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.

    Cleared for Takeoff: 4 New Puzzles, Endless Mode and 20% Off in the Steam Summer

    4 New Puzzles, Endless Mode and 20% Off in the Steam Summer New Update is Live! We are back with a brand new update! To dive straight into the details, we have focused on 4 key areas for this release. First, based on your feedback, we’ve fixed issues in several puzzles and addressed the repetitiveness to improve overall variety. Next, to offer you fresh experiences, we are introducing 4 new puzzles to the game. While keeping the difficulty balanced, we aimed to make players feel the aviation atmosphere even more deeply. Last but not least, we have integrated a brand-new game mode. Bug & Hot Fixes Decoder Puzzle: The difficulty system has been streamlined. It now features fewer words, and localization has been significantly improved for languages other than English.Flap Puzzle: Received a UX (User Experience) update.Target FPS: A new Target FPS setting has been added. You can now customize and cap your FPS limit.Graphical Updates: Graphics have been polished alongside major optimization improvements.Puzzle ImprovementsSay goodbye to repetitive outcomes! Puzzle solutions will now randomize with every new playthrough. For instance, you won't always encounter the exact same "enter the first number" step in Stage 1 like you did in your previous runs. Additionally, we’ve added a slight difficulty tweak to the Hijack level: a cracked glass effect on the windshield now challenges the pilot’s visibility. New Puzzles We have added 4 new puzzles that blend seamlessly with the aviation theme. With the Fuel Switch Puzzle, Frequency Puzzle, Cabin Pressure Puzzle, and Cabin Announcement, we aimed to capture the true aircraft atmosphere. Your feedback on these new additions is incredibly valuable to us, especially for shaping our future goals.

    Demo Major Update: Enhanced Visuals, Refined Gameplay, and Bug Fixes

    After a long period of listening to your feedback and integrating our own ideas, we have implemented significant changes to the game to find a common ground. In addition to these changes, we’ve polished the graphics, resolved bugs reported in reviews and discussions, and completed our final tests. Now, it is time to present the revamped version to you. First and foremost, we would like to thank our community for their invaluable feedback.InnovationsThe manual is no longer in the game. You will no longer need to flip through the pages of a booklet to find a code and enter it into the terminal as you did in the previous demo. Instead, all puzzles will be accessible on the screen in front of you. By clicking “Download Instructions,” you can open the puzzle in the Terminal, and by clicking “Open Instructions,” you will be able to see the solution methods. We also added a small element to the Demo designed to distract you and be a bit "annoying"; much more awaits you in the full version.Visual Improvements• The Tower: We have significantly overhauled the Tower section visually, so the difference between the old and new versions will be strikingly apparent.• The Cockpit: We’ve improved the cockpit graphics for the pilot. All aircraft cockpits have been redesigned based on real-world models, accompanied by necessary graphical enhancements.• Environment: We removed the old mountainous terrain and replaced it with a stormy cloud environment. We should note that we have already observed better performance results in our initial tests due to this change.Bug Fixes• Connection Issues: We investigated the "failed to connect to host" and general connection errors mentioned in reviews and discussions. These have been resolved with new additions and fixes.Important Note: You may still experience connection issues if a VPN is active. Unfortunately, this is directly related to Steam's own servers, so it is outside of our control.• Tower Officer Glitch: We fixed the issue where the Tow...

    Patch Notes: Localization Overhaul & Crucial Puzzle Fixes!

    Hello once again to our amazing Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers!Thank you for continuing to play the demo and for sharing your sharp observations with us. We are constantly monitoring your feedback, and today we are rolling out another quick patch to address some of the most requested fixes, particularly regarding the manual and translations.Here is what we have fixed in this update:Complete Localization Overhaul: We heard your feedback regarding the confusing and incorrect translations in the game. We have completely overhauled the localization! All languages have been updated to be much clearer, accurate, and easier to understand. Communication is key to not crashing, and now it should be smoother than ever!On/Off Switch Puzzle Manual Correction: We caught a sneaky typo in the manual for the On/Off Switch puzzle! In the explanation section that previously read "4-12-10", the number "10" was incorrect. We have fixed this error, and it has now been replaced with the correct answer, which is "16".Power Knob Puzzle Logic Fix: We identified a bug in the Power Knob puzzle where the PWR and RPM numbers could sometimes generate as the exact same value. This was not the intended design. We have fixed the logic, so these values will no longer roll equally, ensuring the puzzle works exactly as it should.Thank you again for your incredible support, for reporting these bugs, and for helping us polish Don't Panic! It is Just Turbulence. Keep the feedback coming, and if you haven't already, don't forget to join our Discord!Have a safe flight!
