Pinkio created a YouTube Channel in July 4th, 2015, though it is unknown why or how the channel existed back then. The first video was uploaded until February 1st, 2018 featuring a game called "Neo-Sonic"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzXkmh3tvNs</ref> which were then followed by more videos with Sonic games as the main topic. His first Rolling Sky video was uploaded 1 year and 8 months later (on October 12th, 2019) and it featured the perfect completion of the level "E-Labyrinth".<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBbQJi1_EY4</ref>

Pinkio maintains a semi-active YouTube Channel, where he uploads unique videos of experiments, lists, music montages, updates, information & other features about Rolling Sky. He managed to get to 4,600 subscribers (as of May 2026), being one of the most popular Rolling Sky Content Creators on YouTube. He has also uploaded videos about Dancing Line and Piano Tiles 2, both of them being some of the most popular Cheetah Mobile games (along with Rolling Sky itself).

Currently, the featured video for Pinkio's channel is: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-vLo1sy2pk The Rolling Sky Awards 2024] (posted on May 18th, 2025). Pinkio considers it to be "the best video he has ever done", considering it lasts an entire hour & it's also translated to Spanish (his native language). The estimated amount of worktime taken to produce the video was around 40 hours (95+ hours if the recording process of every level individually is also counted). Due to the big amount of time required, future editions of this event are not planned, although the video itself is a sequel of an older one done for the previous year: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7p8xBdNb2zs The Rolling Sky Awards 2023].

=== External Camera Recording Style ===
=== External Camera Recording Style ===
A notable trait of Pinkio was the unique recording type which didn't feature a screen recording of the gameplay, but a video of the screen of his phone taken with an external camera. This recording style is still kept until today and the reasons for this style were explained in a separate video.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJOUQB1pWy4</ref>
A notable trait of Pinkio is the unique recording type, which doesn't feature a screen recording of the gameplay, but rather a video of the screen of his phone is shown, taken with an external camera.


Most of his videos about mobile games feature this trait. Some of them even use the external audio, but he usually mutes it and manually replaces it with music placed over the video depending on the level or event he's playing.

The main reason why he chose to record his videos with this method are because, when he started recording Rolling Sky videos, his phone wasn't powerful enough to handle an internal recording app, so he used to borrow his older brother's phone to record. Most of the time he has recorded on the dining room of his house using a bread container and empty medicine boxes to hold a phone that works as a camera which faces down, and below on the table he uses another phone where he plays the game. Even though Pinkio has got better phones by now, he got used to this recording method since then and still uses it, using other objects to hold the phone in the case he records in other places.
The main reason why Pinkio records his videos with this method is because, when he started recording Rolling Sky videos, his phone was unable to handle an internal recording app, so he used to borrow his older brother's phone to record the gameplay for all the levels. A showcase of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJOUQB1pWy4 Pinkio's recording place & video editing methods can be seen here]. Even though Pinkio has got better phones by now, he got used to this recording method since then and still uses it, as it eventually became a recognizable icon of his channel.


Another reason why he uses this recording method is to show his hands' movements while he plays, so it would be easier to understand which movements he does at any part of the gameplay. This was inspired by some of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMUjsRW1LlU&t=9s SHAvibe's videos of Rolling Sky] and the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRiURueMSsc Glory YT's videos of Piano Tiles 2]. He had considered recording both internal and external footage, but he prefers to keep only the external footage so any kind of text he adds will fit better at the sides on his videos.

It includes videos where Pinkio played every new update during the time they were released.

|These are Rolling Sky videos that were either made or translated to the Spanish language. This was initially done to attract spanish public because Pinkio's native language is Latin American Spanish, as he's from Guatemala and English is his second language. Some other videos about single level completions might even have their title & description translated to Japanese & Chinese (Traditional). For the most part, he stopped translating the videos to Spanish & other languages because it takes too much time & work for him to do.

|Playlist aimed to include all the gameplays of Rolling Sky's levels. Most of these videos are edited to only include the completion attempt of each level, recorded with an external camera, & the audio typically gets changed to only include the level's music.
Pinkio has recorded a perfect run for all the Rolling Sky levels released until June 2025 (Twilight Karst Cave), the only exception being Alone II. However, due to the game's huge amount of levels, it's hard to spot if there's a missing level on the playlist.
