I made a polar puzzle that might be more suitable for speedsolving than SQ1

[Larch-Cuber]

This is the polar Hexprism puzzle, it shares a similar mechanism with the Square-1, but without shape-shifting and bandaging, and only one solved state. Both its top and bottom layers consist of only six pieces. During the solving process, there is no need for reshaping, and there are no turning restrictions, making it an excellent puzzle for speedsolving.
I've developed the PLL alogrithms of it, only 23 cases, you need to finish the first layer first, which is almost as easy as making a hexagram on SQ1, then use one alg to finish the rest, which is fun and not difficult, as well as not too easy as pyraminx or ivy cube, making it a good speed solving puzzle.
I know there's already this puzzle on twistypuzzles.com, but I made a speed, magnetic and stickerless version of it, and developed the algorithm, hope it can be a popular puzzle once it got mass produced.

i see something... it is called potential

interesting… thanks for sharing!

Nice concept. However, for me, I feel the fun in sq1 is that it is a shapeshifter and is capable of having parity, hence is a greater challenge than 3x3/"standard" puzzles. My caveat is that I feel like it could just be another one-lookable spam tps puzzle, of which there is 3 too many in the WCA already.

This puzzle also has parity, it has all the quality of SQ1 except bandaging and shape shift, from my actual solving experience, it's not that easy to one look as pyraminx, skewb or 2x2, it should be longer than those puzzles, but shoter than SQ1

Can I buy any from you if you are selling them

I suggest wait for the mass produced version

I beg to differ, but I think you mean 4...
2x2, pyraminx, sqewb and 3x3...

Yiheng made it 4

I think yiheng should do 3bld but one look cfop

Charlie Eggins vs Yiheng Wang coming soon

Why I started grinding big BLD

tbf tho there's a VERY small chance yiheng could break wr tho. He'd need like 15-20s to predict everything in the solve and like 4s of execution. That's nowhere near world class I would think.

I'm pretty sure a 4s execution is world class

15-20 memo + the 4 seconds is defo not tho

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

I suggest wait for the mass produced version

whens that gonna come out?

How much is it gonna cost (pls not to expensive or my wallet will cry )

As I was saying
