The sound was very harsh, it made me cry inside.  The game itself was about in-between -- the fast motion of the bee was very bee-like, and the patrol behavior of the wasps were aggressive, but not too much so.  Presentation-wise, it was super bugly when the game just ended upon death or success.  I would have loved to see some effects and animations on those bug characters.  Also, music would have added a ton of atmosphere.
