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.[8][9]
