If The Moon Was Only 1 Pixel

I had to come read the comments to figure out why I was just seeing a black screen that wasn't scrollable. Sideways scrolling? Really? There's a reason no one uses it.

We usually put lengths along an X axis when graphing, I believe this is why horizontal scrolling was used.

We also tend to think of our planets in order from left to right from the sun.

If this was about ocean depth, vertical scrolling might be more analogous.

But its all subjective of course.
