What's at the bottom? Seriously, I'm not sure

I think we managed to strike a pretty delicate balance with our game in 72 hours. I got to play it so little during development that I thought players would be pretty much doomed to constant failure and frustration, but now I can honestly say that @michaelhaughian has done a fantastic job balancing out the different features; several different streamers have shown us so. The game requires a couple of death runs before everything clicks together (getting a tutorial in there in time could have helped!), and one of the assignable jobs is a bit too expensive for practical use, but all in all the game turned out not only playable, but quite replayable. It was such a surprise to me, and I still enjoy seeing people fighting through the initial confusion to the point of mastering of our game.
Still, one question remains unanswered:
What's at the bottom of the mines?
I've seen people go far deeper than I've expected when I hardcoded the mines' depth into the game, thinking I'll deal with it later if it pops up as an issue. Until now, I don't think anyone has reached the bottom, and I'm only pretty sure I know what would happen if they would. If there's one thing that would complete this stellar jam experience for me, it's if someone could reach it and tell us. I challenge you to be the one to do it!
