I couldn't figure out how to get 2 of the gems in the beginning (the one behind the the crate and the one too high to reach from you starting position) The game has a cool look to it and it seems to have an actual story but I couldn't get far enough to really enjoy it. What is the solution to getting those 2 gems?

Thanks so much for playing ! I put so much effort into making this game feel right but with only a month it is difficult,
I tried to make the first level passable enough to get to the second level but was struggling with the controls feeling right. so you need to go all the way to the right where you will find master Youkai that will tell you you need 25 gems, you just play trough the game collecting ad many gems as you can ignoring the ones you cannot reach ( you can only get 25 )then you, go to master youkai , do the boos battle ()you will die a lot) after the boss battle you get the trowing knife that destroy the boxes use this to get the area on the bottom right there you will get the wall run ability you use this to wall run and you get to Tenku's shop where you can trade your death points for health potions and you go back to the beginning of the stage were you can destroy the box collect the yellow gem and wall run into the second level, the game really picks up from there.
Whaaaaaaat?!
I couldn't believe my eyes when I found this gem has a full stat upgrade system. Getting the kunai and finally fighting back after being helpless felt good too. Nice work! As others have said, all of the dialogue happening each time you pass the signs is a bit frustrating, especially with the amount of backtracking in this genre.
I'm glad I played it again!
