I saw the title. I started the level. I thought, WOW! It is just like the bijou. (Not that I've been there, but I've seen pictures and read books.)
And then you said it was easier, but those boxes gave me fits. Finally I thought to myself, "Self? If it's supposed to be easy, then do something easy" So I did and wouldn't you know that it worked otu just fine. I was overthinking it!
And then the houses. I ws pretty worried when I saw the doormat, but your hospitality took my fears away. Very kind of you.
The atmosphere, the box puzzle, everything - excellent level.

I'm from Chicago. The only southern hospitality around here is not flipping someone off when they cut you off in traffic.
Wait, the cat lives south of me and she's REALLY nice, so maybe there is something to the geography thing.

I'm confused (what else is new) isn't it 'bayou'? The 'Bijou' is the name of a famous movie theater.

From a fellow Canadian, Bob, I thought "Bijou" in french was jewel

It is jewel in french. Is Kiki talking about the french quarter in New Orleans?
Kiki, we need answers! Where are you? You've confused Canadians!

It's usually spelled bayou, but in some dialects, it's also seen as bijou. I think maybe more locally. At least that's what I was told when I asked around.

Had the hardest time with the boxes! Kept coming up short or couldn't get them all in the water! Finally got a clue on the outside edge and everything fell into place! Quite a nice challenge, Kiki!

I don't think this one is easy at all Keeks
Just can't get past even the first bit with the boxes. I'm cut off every time, or I trampoline into water.
You have a very devious brian (brain too

)

Keeks, sure we knew what "Bayou" you meant -- we was justa being "smart a--es"

Hope we didn't annoy you.
I tried to play the level but couldn't even get past the boxes -- kept getting stranded in the middle of nowhere!! Once I managed to get to the other side but then didn't know where to go & was sinking in quicksand. Like some of the others, could use some
HELP. Thanks.

I still have a Creedence Clearwater Revival album kicking around somewhere Keeks, so yes, I knew what 'bayou' you were referring to, but I thought that maybe 'bijou' was a creole spelling or old-time reference to the area. There's a lot of history down there and the melding of different cultures and dialects can produce some interesting linguistic treats!
Sorry for the confusion pal.
BTW, I had a wicked time figuring out the boxes, finally realized there was another way to place 'em where I wanted!
Goodfun, thanks

Thanks for your hints. They enabled me to even reach the right part of the bayou. Had to play this a few times to get it all right.
Great stinker level, thanks

Thanks for the help Keeks - this was a stinker for me (so what's new?)
Easy once you know how!

Thank you for giving us yet more puzzling fun.

Excellent level - but I needed your walkthrough on the box section

Very clever and intricate and also very atmospheric

As usual - I really enjoyed playing it again and again

I could do the box section in about 30 seconds eventually as I played it so many times
Great stuff - many thanks
