Axiom Verge

So what IS the Axiom Verge? Today we found out as Joshua walks us through this 2015 indie homage to Metroid that leans heavily into the retro feel of the genre. Developed, published, and composed by Thomas Happ, this side scrolling action adventure game takes the scientist Trace through a foreign alien world ruled by technology while piecing together what happened to the world you woke up in, and what piece you play in it all. The music ties heavily into the brooding industrial tech heavy setting with an unapologetically 80's vibe carrying us through it up. Come on in and enjoy the ruined world with friends and wild chiptune glitch techno vibes.

Dave the Diver

In today's episode Joshua serves up his favorite su... tunes from Dave the Diver. This 2023 indie darling has a blend of action-adventure and management gameplay as you play as Dave exploring the depths of The Blue hole to catch fish to serve at his friend's sushi diner. Developed by Nexon, published by Minitrocket, and composed by D'Anthoni Wooten and Jukio Kallio, there's never been a better time to celebrate the sea with this dynamic soundtrack ranging from chill dread to dance beats and even a bit of Korean hip hop for good measure.

Water Music

Hopefully you brought a change of clothes because this is our wettest episode yet as we share our favorite Water Music across the decades. We got some Mario music... and Mario music... And some not Mario music. Some dam turtles. A goddess love story. Deep fears of... well, the deep. Fear not though as after some rough seas we'll bring you back to port with beautiful lake music, and even a serenade (of sorts). One thing's for certain though, there's a wild variety of music in store for us all today.  Join the BBB Discord @https://discord.gg/FEAYdbePt8 [https://discord.gg/FEAYdbePt8] Follow us on TikTok @beepsbopsandbeats [https://www.tiktok.com/@beepsbopsandbeats] Or on BlueSky @BeepsBopsAndBeats [https://bsky.app/profile/beepsbopsandbeats.bsky.social] Click here [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJfl6G5e3JFFaLR_vpjUJ1zIdtWvAnUCp&si=wMS-FK1PSlaZlG6z] for a YT Playlist of today's featured tracks.  ------------ * (00:01) - Super Mario World, "Swimming" * (01:39) - (Talky Bits) * (10:19) - Super Mario 64, "Dire, Dire Docks" * (13:20) - (Talky Bits) * (21:43) - E.V.O. - Search for Eden, "Birthplace of All Life" * (24:27) - (Talky Bits) * (29:02) - Banjo-Kazooie, "Rusty Bucket Bay (Underwater)" * (32:54) - (Talky Bits) * (38:31) - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, "Save the Dam!" * (41:24) - (Talky Bits) * (56:16) - Subnautica, "Into the Unknown" * (59:10) - (Talky Bits) * (01:09:59) - Windbound, "Rough Seas" * (01:13:11) - (Talky Bits) * (01:19:29) - Okami, "Lake Harami" * (01:22:51) - (Talky Bits) * (01:36:17) - Rayman Origins, "Lums of the Water"
