finally worked out how to make fully-functional vertically- and horizontally-moving platforms...The vertical ones were trouble, until I realized that they simply needed to be in the same Group as the horizontal platforms.
Lesson of the day: more comments in code = fewer problems. 
another beta level has been added, implementing a few new things:
--the aforementioned vertically-moving platforms
--falling stalagtites, that descend from a ceiling point once the player touches a certain invisible trigger
--flying, bat-like enemies, that have a defined territory (defined by invisible objects), and who "go to sleep" if the player is not overlapping their territory markers
--once the player is killed by something, they are immediately teleported back to the start point of the level

please post any comments or thoughts on the current state of "chrono crystals." thanks!
