[Mobile] [Around 2010] Bike Time Trial Game

I was pretty young when I played it, so my memories about the game are a bit foggy and I‘m not sure about the exact details.

Platform: I don‘t know if it existed for more platforms but I used to play it on iOS.

Genre: I‘m pretty sure it was a bike racing game where you had to finish a track as fast possible.

Gameplay: I think there was a timer ticking down, which reset after passing checkpoints. If I remember the animation correctly, when the timer ran out, your character stopped and got off the motorbike (and somehow I remember them being disappointed and shaking their head, but this might be wrong). At least the one map I remember was „linear“ (what I mean is that you didn‘t return to the start at the end or drive laps). I think you only raced against the time, so no other racers started with you, however I think I remember that (at least on this one map) sometimes some raiders/bad guys appeared and chased you, but I don‘t remember how you got rid of them. There may have been multiple perspectives but I only remember playing in 3rd person.

Art Style: It was 3D and not extremely high resolution, but I don‘t think it was trying to have a realistic art style, so it was stylized to some extent if I remember correctly.

Other details: I specifically remember one level, which was in a desert like setting, and the end of the track was the entry of some round/dome shaped sandstone/clay desert structure/temple. This may be wrong, but I think before you started your run, there was a shot of your character on the bike with one foot on the ground, and the camera circled around them, and then there was a transition where they put both feet on the bike and started driving.

I don‘t know how obscure that game was, but it would be awesome if anyone else remembers this :)
