Great Puzzle

This puzzle is a really fun challenge. You solve it by first tolling the corners and then the smaller pieces. I would recommend this puzzle to anyone who knows how to solve a skewb and pyraminx. This is a really amazing puzzle considering it is seven dollars.

Terrifying until you figure it out, then pretty simple

This thing is absolutely upsetting when you first turn it. Just, absolutely so many pieces are moving every time you do anything, it feels out of reach. But eventually I did get it; in the end it was sort of like an easier skewb attached to a coin pyraminx (well, sort of), so after I figured out all the rules it was actually pretty straightforward. I would say the best use of this thing is to solve a new puzzle without help, or intimidating your friends; once you've got it figured it out, there's not a lot to it; the motion is fine if you're careful, but you definitely won't be speedcubing with it, and it's just fiddly enough that I wouldn't pick it to play with as a fidget. Probably you'll scramble it once, have a good time figuring it out, then once it clicks, you'll put it in a nice pattern and drop it on a shelf. Which, for 8 bucks, is actually a pretty good value. Would recommend.

Pretty good

It’s a fun puzzle to mess with. I’ve solved it a few times, and it seems like it would be fun to come back to every so often. It work like a skewb with extra pieces, so it would be helpful to have prior skewb knowledge. The corners are all slower than the centers at the moment (though they look the same). You can turn it by rotating all the corners halfway. There’s a nice click that shows it’s in place, then you turn where the crease lines up. Over all, it’s a pretty fun cube, if you like figuring out shape mods.
