I'm not sure what you mean by this: "but you can't seem to in the game"?
I meant how when the eggs roll off the higher platform, it would fall off towards the ground if you dont have the basket next to the current gutter. I found myself trying to catch it while it fell through the air into the ground (it already fell off the gutter and heading towards the ground). But it seems that if the egg misses the basket, theres no way to catch it anymore and will ultimately fall to the ground. Not that its a big deal, just something i noticed.
