Happy Fruit Link: Two Bends Allowed, Not One More

What is Happy Fruit Link?
An onet-style link game built around fruit. Two identical fruits join up as long as the path between them turns no more than twice. Routes open up as the table empties, but the last few tiles take some finding.
How to play
Click two identical fruits and the game looks for a route through the empty squares between them. That route can run straight, or turn once, or turn twice, but a third turn means the match is refused. It is also allowed to go around the outside edge of the table, which makes border tiles easier to join than they look. Every valid match lifts two tiles and opens new passages. The level ends when all the fruit is gone, and if no valid route remains you have to spend a shuffle.

Tips
- Clear the border rows first, since the route around the outside makes them the easiest joins on the table.
- To free a fruit trapped in the middle, remove the pairs above or beside it instead of forcing it directly.
- Hold the shuffle back, as it only helps you once there really is no route at all.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my route refused?
The line either turns more than twice or runs into another tile on the way, so that tile has to come off first.
Can a color blind player manage?
The fruits are drawn as distinct shapes independently of color, so they can be told apart by outline alone.
