How do I make a 3D platformer fair? (sh.itjust.works)

I've been working on my 3D platformer, but when people play test it they find the actual platforming part hard to control. I am using the thirdpersoncontroller from unity assets - is there a guide or a book out there that walks you through fair level design and player mechanics? I don't even know what I should be targeting

definitely something i'm doing! it's important to see how everyone else does it but it's very hard to quantify what exactly makes these other options so good

That's why it's important to do some kind of testing to quantify the differences. If you can make a jump 9/10 times with one setting and 5/10 with another then you know which gives you better control.

Most important though is feel. Which settings are going to give movement the best feeling.
