The way the puzzle is made is the following: each pixel from the image is turned into a cube with it's color, and the cubes are arranged flat on a plane to form the image. Then each cube is slided by a random offset on one of it's axis. When you look at the cubes along that axis, the image seems undistorted, but the slightest rotation in any other axis makes the cubes scatter around to unintuitive places. To make the image clear once again, you need to rotate it so you look at the exact axis.

Nice concept, but since you are using cubes, aren't you restricting yourself to only 6 possible surfaces?
