I hope that you continue creating the game and add some strategy elements to it.
Better if the map is populated with more animals and stuff, but kinda cool for first prototype!

Thanks for making this game, it's short and sweet :) It surely would benefit from sound! I kind of expected to get more and more modern weapons, until I accidentally destroy the planet with a nuclear rocket launcher :D
Also if you get more than 4 meat at once, the extra ones disappear, you could have added a bigger limit (so going from 4 to 8?) per every technology discovered and also count the extra meat found.
I was very confused about the hitboxes in the early game, as melee attack range is not really clear. I couldn't understand why I was damaging or being damaged. The game becomes much more understandable at the last upgrade once we unlock range weapon. Sadly, this is were the game becomes too easy as well and the challenge is gone. In the same time, the sensation of power it gives is awesome. Anyway that's how ancient (and modern) technology went ;)
I thought at first that I could carry only one meat. Then I got surprised that a giraffe dropped 2 and I could pick both. Maybe technology upgrade could also provide ways to carry more at once.
