Caterpillar (medium)

This maze first appeared as the monthly maze competition for December 2012.

This is a link maze (see Link Mazes) in which you alternate between matching shapes and matching colours.

Start from the yellow circle in the top left corner, and move horizontally or vertically to a symbol with the same shape. For example, you could move to the orange circle in the leftmost column, or the blue circle below that in the leftmost column.

Now move horizontally or vertically to a symbol of the same colour. So, suppose you chose the orange circle in the leftmost column, the only next option is the orange star to its right.

Continue in this way, alternating between matching shapes and matching colours, and find the shortest route to the orange square in the bottom right corner.

This maze has two alternative solutions with the same number of steps; find either of them:
