just realized this has not made yet and i think it'd be a nice topic to have especially cuz hiveswap music goes rather Foolish.
i think for me personally, the best track oat is Joey Claire, Extraordinaire (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwdKEv62eno) and that shit not even relatively close. It's such an insanely strong track to start the actual GAME part of hiveswap act 1 off with. every time i listen to this i just start floating. shit was so good i even bought the act 1 ost just for scrobble-related purposes.
there isn't anything in act 2 that I think compares to that track (lowkey) but i think an honorable mentions goes to Raw Honey (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAwi2PS382s) solely based off of vibes. that piano is ELITE ASF!!! it kinda reminds me of some tracks from Epic Battle Fantasy 5 and it's just a real nice listen.

Also Homestead (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyuk7rRSVA) is really really really fucking good. I cant edit my post sadly but just imagine it's there in spirit

Honestly Ticket To Ride : Trial Variation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4GmT28X5bc&list=PLo6jbRGXGrtjd24KGItEpyaXqEjAjuDFn&index=11) is kinda fire

Bard of Heart - Caprilo
thats such a tough question but im partial to filthy nuclear bunker honestly
seconding filthy nuclear bunker, but also adding intermission 1, which is a deeply underrated track.
i haven't played hiveswap act 1 since it came out but sometimes i wake up with serpent genesis stuck in my head. its lead instrument has that same kind of quality in its attacks as classic meme song cbat.
also shout out to snake case closin' 18 from lofam 5.

I personally love every Ticket to Ride variation as well, but especially Rusty. It's such a jam (and I wasn't forced to listen to it for hours trying to solve some puzzle in a train car full of assholes). Another one of my favorites is Table for Tooth, which is the song featured in Hiveswap Act 1's trailer. It's so energetic! Any of the "battle" music in Hiveswap is a banger in my opinion. But my absolute favorite is definitely Homestead from Act 2 (the song that plays inside Zebede's hive). It's not super bombastic or iconic like some other tracks, but it feels so warm and homey. I listen to it all the time when I want to feel calm and cozy, like when I have a cup of tea or read a book in the evening.
