About Cecil Run
Cecil Run is an endless runner created by T. R. Saling and developed by Digital Berzerk in 2019. Cecil Run is the follow up to the arcade smash hit Harambe Kong and is the 2nd game in the Arcade Animal Rights Trilogy. Cecil must travel through an endless number of hours with the ultimate goal of surviving, but however in this tragedy, there's no such thing as happily ever after for Cecil.
Digital Berzerk has adopted a mantra of 'Space and Respect' and believes that putting animals first will inherently benefit the rest of humanity. Given the legal backlash that the hunters received after the killing of Cecil one must ask; was Cecil's life dignified with respect and space? The result is mixed. While Cecil was being studied by Oxford and revered in the animal world, he was also a target because of his size. Hunters will say they are pro-conservation however the major problem with trophy hunting is that it glorifies the ego of the hunter while the needs of the animal take a backseat.
Arrows fall randomly on Cecil as he continues to run away from danger avoiding pits and gaps while collecting meat and treasure. Survive long enough and the dentist will become agitated, get into his B-52 and bomb Cecil like the Dresden Cathedral. Once Cecil collects 10 pieces of meat, the hamburger will drop. There are other platforms that Cecil must navigate through to collect special items that will increase the player's score. Once Cecil has reached the end of the level, he will exit through the cave, the hour resets and the game continues.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Cecil Run is a Unity asset flip for a basic 2D retro pixel endless runner/platformer. Usually asset flips are really sufficient reason for any game to be classified immediately as a cheap nasty cash grab (and there's no exception here), but there's more, and it's worse. The "developer" decided to try cash in on the despicable acts conducted by Walter Palmer, disgraced American dentist, who tracked and killed a beloved wild Lion from a national park in Zimbabwe, by luring it from the park then shooting him. This horrific act is appalling, and I'm only relating it to provide context for this awful game. The developer making a sick joke of an atrocity is completely reprehensible, featuring Cecil and the disgraced dentist, Palmer, in the game. Imagine doing that just for a nasty cash grab on Steam.4 found this helpful
Asset flip apparently, so obviously dont' recommend it. If the game dev were donating the proceeds of the game as part of "the message" he is trying to make with the game then maybe that'd get a pass, but as far as I'm aware this is still just a cash grab. Music and sound affects are cool though.2 found this helpful
