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

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.
