If it falls off
Make sure all the magnets are touching super tight, or try building a wider base for more stability.
Make it easier
Just build the launch pad base and stand up two squares, maybe with a flat square on top like a little house.
Make it bigger
Add more squares to make the rocket body taller or wider, and more triangles for extra fins!
Chaos upgrade
Build a little alien inside the rocket, or add some 'fire' (red tiles) at the bottom!
