Wave Crasher is an iOS game that began development in August of 2011. It was released on February 2012 by Ottawa based Magmic Games.

Gameplay
The goal of the game is to ride the generated waves to collect coins and stars. The stars will multiply the points awarded for each coin collected; each star increases this multiplier. The waves themselves are generated by the music the user is listening to. Wave Crasher generates content by using a unique technology developed by Magmic that imports songs from a users music library into the game and generates the waves the player is riding.
