Overview
ZRoll has 300 achievements, all for collecting each of the 50 totems in the six levels. You can expect game completion in under an hour using these tips. All of the levels have the same layout and totem locations, so once you learn and finish level 1 it's just repetition.

Important: There are 51 totems in each level. The 51st will automatically take you to the next level, but for achievement completion you don't have to collect it. Just exit the game, reopen, and select the next level. This can save you some time if you miss one or want to skip it.
Controls
The controls are probably the toughest part of the game and knowing some tips will save you time bumbling around the starting area. The most important is: you can control the ball's spin while in the air.

The tutorial in level 1 covers the basics: use WASD to move and Space to jump. You can jump off of walls midair with Space. This can be a little wonky, so spamming space can often get you somewhere (or nowhere). I found that the left and right arrow keys worked, but up and down didn't. Haven't tried with a controller.

As said before, you can control the ball's spin in midair with WASD. This makes it much easier to jump precisely and get through levels faster. For the platforming sections, come to a stop on the ground/platform. You don't need much windup to hit the right spot - about half the width of one of the standard platforms. While midair, get your ball as close to neutral (no spin) as possible by holding briefly in the opposite direction from your jump. Then when you land, you should mostly stay in place. Repeat for each platform. Try not to have too much speed or spin when hitting walls as you will bounce off.
Tips
  • Be sure to fully explore each platform/area before moving on, as many totems aren't visible at first.
  • There is one totem under the water - the water doesn't affect your physics at all.
  • For the stair-like section, try to just jump straight at them. You'll need the full length of the first one for momentum to get up to the next. Before moving up, there is a totem high above you - should be pretty easy to get a wall jump. Then continue to the right - the platforms above and to the left come later.
  • There are 51 totems in each level - the last will take you to the next level. You can skip one and just reopen the game and choose the next level - I usually skipped the underwater one because it's not on the main path and involves more platforming. Just jump diagonally over the water.
  • The little red mist after the sloping area will boost you way up into the air. It may take a few tries to get a good angle/bounce and land up there instead of falling back down. If you get lucky, you might go up between the platforms at the very top and be able to roll down them instead of having to platform up. They don't lead to anywhere, so just start at the highest one and roll down.
  • There are invisible walls at the edges of the map and some platforms higher up, but you can fall off most others.
Conclusion
I hope this guide was helpful. Feel free to let me know if you have questions or anything is missing. Sorry that I was too lazy to add images/video/full walkthrough.

Have a good day and happy hunting!

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game? For some games when that glitch happens you will need to delete registry data or items in the AppData folders, but I couldn't find any that remained after uninstalling this game, so that should do the trick.
