You may have noticed that all the scores submitted are substantially longer than 2 hours - closer to 3, in fact.
It's almost as if it's intentionally designed to frustrate the players.
I seriously doubt that any of the three successful scores are legit.
Your own score may be, but I suspect this is one of the cases where the game save was not 100% faithful and your playtest (and the score) were done with a much easier level. Maybe the forge is giving the beams a bit more range or firepower than what could be seen in playtesting.
Of course, there could also be some trick I didn't see.
I have no idea what that trick could be. I tried everything.

I found the one that produced piles of creep to be obnoxious enough I ringed it with cannons and went on to kill the inhibitor.
