Debtor

In Brief

Debtor is a retro looking platform game with 30 levels to explore and beat. Collect all the coins on a level to open the door to the next level. Create new paths by destroying certain walls and avoid the traps and enemies. Watch out when on some suspended platforms because they crumble away after a second or two. Every level is timed, so don't hang about, otherwise you'll be earning angel wings. The levels get harder as you progress; once a level has been completed you can return to it at any time by selecting the new game then selecting the level you wish to play from the level selection screen. Check out the videos via the links below to get a better idea abut the game. :)

Installation Issues:

Debtor downloads to a 21.9 MB zip file that unzips to three files, (a setup.gcd security wrapper the set-up file and a read me). The game installs to the following path by default, but can be changed if you wish. The installed game is approximately 22.4 MB in size.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Debtor

Five shortcuts are installed to the desktop, four of which can be safely deleted . If you want the games shortcut to be installed to the desktop, make sure the appropriate checkbox is checked. Even if this is left unchecked you will still get the four internet shortcuts installed to the desktop; (i.e. Falco Space - Online Game!, FalconLine Online Games Website, FalcoGo WebGL Games! and Free Games Downloads!). Also, if you don't like icons installed to the quick launch task bar, make sure the appropriate checkbox is unchecked when the 'additional task's window appears (after the Select Start Menu Folder window).

Problems getting the game to work:

If you're having problems installing or activating or getting Debtor to work please visit the FAQ's Thread HERE and read through the communities comments because sometimes fixes have already been posted, for example, a common issue seen since the Themida wrapper was introduced three years ago is that some community members installation of the game are blocked by their security because Themida code has been known to hide malware, (usually an error message is flagged for example 'The executable is corrupted' even though in reality it is not); so as a precaution some anti malware programs will block and even delete the suspect installation files even though the files (i.e. the setup, read me and setup.gcd files are actually totally free from malware. This issue can be solved either by rebooting your computer in safe mode with networking or a quicker method is to temporarily turn off your security software to allow the installation. You could also try white-listing the setup.gcd file. In the almost 12 years this game giveaway site has been operating there has 'never' been a game given away that was infected with malware.

If for any reason you want to contact the giveaway team, for example, you have a game to offer the community, or are unable to download the latest game or other issues that the FAQ's thread or these comments don't cover or solve you can do so HERE

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the developer SharkGame and the distributor Falcoware Games for giving away Debtor and also to the game giveaway team, as always, for securing other ways to get free games.
