Took me an embarrassing amount of time to realise that the arrow at the start of the game is what we are trying to match the shape to. I was trying to match against the % gauge, which as you can imagine didn't go great ^^'
It's a very unique idea you had there, I also like the mechanic where the player is encouraged to keep the old pals as long as they can, cool stuff

Thank you for playing until you figured it out! There is a crucial tutorial the explains just that, to "walk into the arrow shape then press match" but I had disabled it during testing, I was also well over 20hours awake by the time I posted my submission, the confusion can be fixed with one bool, but I believe its against the rules to post such update after the deadline. Either way even without the tutorial message it seems most people are realizing what to do.
Thank you for playing!
