Mostly by placing crates really close to the cannons. However it worked game was a fun distraction.

Deceptively simple.  It was fun to see the challenges for the new levels and fun to be able to nudge the egg with the crates.

It's like an angry birds in inverse.  A minor gripe is that having to click on the crate icon before placing a crate is kind of pointless.
