Highlighting Fire TV button

pokapola

I have my app for Fire TV rejected because apparently you need to have the buttons in the game (Start Game, Play Game etc) highlighted when users navigate with their remote.

I want to ask, how do you guys do this? By changing the image of the button everytime the users navigate through them? I only have ONE button in every scene (except for the scene where users actually play the game), could it be accepted if I make like "Push D-Pad button to start game" and "Push D-Pad button to play again"?

That's an interesting point. In my game I have multiple options to select from, so I'm doing things like putting boxes around images, changing the alpha level or changing the size to show what is selected.

maybe make the image slowly fade in and out so it looks like a real clickable button? Or do what you said, instead of a button, put an instruction there. Press D-Pad to start

Thanks for the suggestion @jonmulcay. I think I'm going with a simple instruction "Press D-Pad to Start Game" as I only have one button.

Thanks!
