Nothing about mines gives you (or should give you) the idea that it will show an explosion graphic or noise. Granted, that is what all non-multiplayer dance games with mines (all two of them) do, but still.

I agree about most feedback with the "mine" graphic & concept change. I prefer the old terms for "mine" having been one of the innovators of this from ITG long ago :-) BUT In terms of iDANCE play, the concept of "Mine" doesn't work the same way. Players cannot get the SOUND or even the recognition/feedback of stepping on the mind as easily because of the environment of iDANCE gameplay. This is the main reasoning for the term "no-step" and showing the FOOT icon in place of the mine. I think it's a change that people will understand and it may still require the icon to be tweaked in later iDANCE versions etc. Give it time, I think you will see that it is a better solution for iDANCE. Hope you get to try the game soon enough!
