you have to go around it (up) and after you go through all that, you should fight a red mini boss of sorts and he will enable a hammer (right arrow key or R1/Rbumper on controller)
Bricks can't be broken without the hammer, so at the beginning it's more of a explore with limitations
yes i see what you meant, i'm sorry, jump is very precise and it took me 2 tries,
but you have to hang on to the ledge (hold in the direction you are jumping and once grabbed on to ledge keep holding in the direction you were holding and then press SPACE/ARROW UP (jump) to climb up)
it's a messy implementation now that i think of it... sorry
