Hey, interesting idea. It seems there are some issues with the abilities though, sometimes I fall really slow and sometime not. I feel like this could be related to the hover mechanic but not in the intended way. Also it is very unreliable, if the character actually jumps, also not sure, if this comes with the later limitations (no motor?) and should be this way though. The only thing, which definitly seems to be not as intended is the battery, it becomes lower and lower but even on restart doesn't reset to 4/4.

There are a lot of things here that impact the usability: - There is a lot of explanatory text at the beginning in a very unfriendly font. It is actually a very simple concept, but I am not sure why it takes so many words to explain. The all-caps monospace font makes it really hard to read. - The controls feel very unpredictable and unresponsive. I would sometimes lose the ability to do a single jump. If this was a mechanic it was not clear. - The restart level button takes too long to take effect. I would reduce the fadeout time significantly.

I appreciate that you took the time to include some sound effects. Many people don't bother. The sound effects aren't particularly interesting but at least they are there. If anything, I hope that making this game motivates you to practice making a platforming game in Unity!
