Poncho is an action game developed by Delve Interactive, released for Windows, OS X, and PlayStation 4 on November 3, 2015, and PlayStation Vita and Wii U on August 18, 2016,

## Gameplay

The game consists of a robot wearing a poncho. Humanity has disappeared and only robots remain. Players make their mission through the world of pixelated parallax to find Poncho's maker and save humanity.[1] The gameplay consists of a 2D platformer with different layer of depth, being able to get closer or further away.

## Reception

The PC version has been reviewed on Destructoid with a score of 60/100.[2] The PS4 version has been reviewed on Hardcore Gamer with a score of 80/100.[3] On PSU.com, also for the PS4 version, the game was reviewed with a score of 80/100.[1] On GameCrate, the game's review score was 78/100.[4] On Push Square, the review score was 50/100.[5] Hardcore Gamer compared the game to Fez.[6]

The game was a commercial failure. In a blog post at Gamasutra published over a year after the game's release, Dan Hayes, a developer at Delve stated their company had "not yet made a single penny from Poncho". He further blamed Rising Star Games for a lack of support; the publisher responded by stating that Delve had consistently missed milestones.[7][8]
