Math Stressing You Out? Try Cal & Bomba Coming This October

Indie studio Filiokus is set to launch its debut title Cal & Bomba on October 16th, 2025 with a 20% launch discount. This tactical program-before-you-play puzzle game has players planning, sequencing and unleashing explosive chain reactions across more than 170 handcrafted levels. 

Cal & Bomba is all about exploring the intersection of mathematics, design and play. The Filiokus team was founded by Martin Lothe Sæterdal and Gjermund Mørkved Bohne and for Martin, his journey began in the classroom where math felt joyful to him but frustrating to many of his classmates. 

The game is designed to spark the feeling of “matteglede” or “the joy of math” by turning abstract logic into playful, visual problem-solving. Instead of publishing mistakes, the game turns them into colorful explosions, surprises and opportunities to learn by doing. The game follows Cal, a pyromaniac gnome with a knack for calculations and Bomba, his troll partner who delights in the colors of big booms. Players program their moves in advance, loading bombs, potions and commands into their wagon cannon, watching their plans unfold in spectacular chain reactions. 

Cal & Bomba is set to launch on October 16th, 2025 for PC. Be sure to wishlist the game now.
