Everybody has one of these lying around at home and at some point, it just seems unsolvable. Yeah, you could disassemble the whole thing, but where's the fun in that?
So, here's my solution as to how to cleverly solve it - and all it requires is a little shift in reality! What? Never heard of a probability drive? What do you guys learn at school nowadays?

Hahaha! You're lucky you just broke it if you really tried it that way.
My sister gave me one once. I got frustrated an I would have changed the stickers if I hadn't found out about a trick how to disassemble it and rebuild it.
Thank you.

I'm too stupid to understand this lol xD
I watched it so many times, what an attention trap! I have to call this deviation very captivating. ^^Β I suppose the areas I will be pointing out are either mistakes or simply your style, so please be aware that I understand some things that I may call as flaws may just be intentionally made by you.
Let's point out the obvious first, the animation is absolutely spectacular, the transitions are very smooth and clean. I can't really find a specific flaw to point out since it looks very well done so mostly I'll just shower this deviation with compliments.
The first time I watched it, the last part when the blocks separate and disarrange appeared messy to me since their shapes collide with each other which broke the flow of the animation. But as I watched it some more, it didn't look as bad because they come together in the end.
The time tweaks when it slows and speeds up comes in perfectly. The title... how you solve it... so basically you cheat? ahaha Well, there's no cheating on the awesomeness f this animation you've made.
Over all, excellent work!

Thanks for the shower!
The last part is messy, half intentionally so. The thing is that I couldn't figure out how to do what I wanted to do. But this comes really close to it and I'm glad it is what it is now.
I've always liked cheating, sometimes it's more interesting than the game itself. I actually cheated a lot in this animation (at least twice in every regular rotation), but the good thing is that no one notices. If a tree falls upwards in the forest and no one's there to see it, is it really cheating?
Thank you again for commenting.

Lovely animation! It's very smooth and flows nicely, and it even made me laugh at the part where it reassembles itself.
Nothing bad to say about this, great job! ^w^

Good, good.
May I say, you did a good job on the comments. Thank you for all of them, I really appreciated them.

Aww, thanks!
I try my best when I comment! ^w^

I was about to write the same thing as Celestol. I did not see it coming, ha! I like how smooth it is, but at the end sometimes the cubes go through each other.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, the cubes are supposed to go through each other, that's the concept. But they are glitching on and off instead of gliding smoothly through, which I attempted to fix, but it looked horrible!

I actually clicked on the picture because I was genuinely curious about tricks for solving Rubik's cubes, but what I got was so much better. There were several times I thought the animation was going to do something else, but instead it just kept going, but then when it all magically rearranged itself I laughed out loud.Β
In short; it's perfect. I wish I could offer some sort of critique, but I genuinely don't know how this could be better. The dark background makes everything stand out, and it flows beautifully. Wonderful work!

Perfection!? Well, I'm glad no one actually sees the small mistakes I only fixed poorly.
This makes you the third person who mentions the title. I think I have to change it. Think, brain, think.
Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like it!

Hehe, an artist's harshest critic is always themself - it helps them strive to do better next time
I think the title works well - it catches you just a little off guard. :>
No problem!

I thought this would be an actual Rubik's Cube tutorial, so I was kind of skeptical to even open it, but boy am I glad I did.Β This is just too clever, and the animation is good too.Β Shame I'm too inferior a Rubik's Cubist to actually use that technique.

I never thought the title would actually be an issue! And now you are the second person to have that problem. Thanks for telling me. I might have to alter it.
π: 0 β©: 0
Not pleased? Hm... what can I do about it!? Maybe you'll like the more conventional method more like this one.
Tell me, what more can I do? Is it too big? Doesn't it load properly? Would you prefer some texture, background, lighting, rounded corners, general plasticity, sound effects, music, a more attractive thumbnail? Or did you expect to find help and instructions to solve your Rubik's Cube?

no i just got trolled but i like itΒ

Ah, sorry for that! I thought the title would be an appropriate tease.

If I could do this IRL with my little cube (wherever it has gone to...) I'd do it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, in theory, all you need to do is change the properties of the universe and permit the parts of the cube to be unstoppable. This way they could slide right through each another because their impulse stays the same... or something like that.

Well, I'd really have my work cut out for me, wouldn't I? XDD
Lol, thanks. XD

I got away with referencing Douglas Adam's work in school. Makes an entertaining text filler.

Seems to be hit or miss. Some people aren't impressed at all. Others are more like you. And that's when I remember why I put so much work in it, it took me forever to get this right.

i'm not surprised it took you forever,, i've worked with tweens before but i've never been able to do anything even remotely close to this! you should be very proud of it

ok whatever that last part was, it was amazing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Hahaha, thanks! Now that the animation is done, I like it, too. When I created the whole thing, I was thinking about something more complicated to do, which wouldn't look nearly as impressive.

Wow... this one is awesome!

Mesmerizing all the way through. That last maneuver is absolutely stunning, I'm pretty sure you've come close to figuring how CGI animators for Transformers shape-shift vehicles into destructive robots

All I'd need would be to have the same surface and the same surface parts... hm... nah, it's too much work, I'll concentrate on other things first. Especially when it comes to 3D.

DU MOGELST
Aber hey, hab ich auch schonΒ
Ich habe ma bei meinem ZauberwΓΌrfel die Sticker abgezogen und umgeklebt
Hatte den selben effekt XDDDDD
Ok aber jetz im ernst
Sieht echt cool aus Β :3
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehehe, danke!
Mogeln macht meistens mehr SpaΓ als das ganze verdammte Spiel. Die Sticker abzuziehen finde ich dann doch ziemlich brutal... ich weiΓ nicht, ob ich wissen will, wie der WΓΌrfel jetzt aussieht. Die ZauberwΓΌrfel, die ich kenne, lassen sich aber fast schon bequem auseinanderbauen, dann kann man sie wieder richtig zusammenbasteln
π: 0 β©: 1
Hm ich glaube meiner ging damals nich auseinander gebaut aber offen gestanden bin ich da auch damals noch nich draufgekommen XD
Das mit den Stickern erschien mir einfacher
