Old school space shooter game like Galaga, but FireTV requires 80% screen

Hi, I just published a game on Fire Tablets and would like to also have it published on FireTV. The game is called "Journey To The Core!" (from dream.make.play) The problem is that the game is designed to look like an old-school top-down space shooter (like Galaga) where the screen is tall and not wide. I have filled the edges of the screen with animated graphics, but I still failed testing because of the 80% screen use rule. Is there anything I can do to pass testing for AmazonTV without changing the game completely? I want to keep the game the same so that my customers can buy it on the Kindle Tablet and have the same game also available on their AmazonTV to play with a real controller. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Chris

Hi, As an update, your app has now been approved for Fire TV with controllers, and should be available soon, as the app is currently going through the publishing process.
