LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
This is such a cute game, and it made me want to keep playing it! Quick satisfaction with how fast the plants grow- the potion crafting is fun and I love the stirring part- and I liked how some customers came for ingredients instead of just potions. Takes some stress off while trying to get set up in the beginning.
I know you're on the fence about the frog, but I really think if the timer were made longer for him, or atleast maybe he wouldn't get hungry BEFORE a player has made their first potion, that he'd be perfect for the job <3 I think having to manage customers, the plants, potions, and the frog isn't too much- just maybe the frog takes too much attention by how fast he gets hungry and how aggressive he gets.
I did have a bug I encountered twice and had to refresh to fix where I had a seed stuck in my hand that I think I had bought, but I forgot I didn't have a place to put it. After clicking it and trying to buy a pot, the seed was stuck to my hand and I couldn't place the seed. I tried feeding it to Frog to get it out of my hand, but no luck until I refreshed.
Your art style really shines here, and I would argue that after a bit more balancing that I mentioned above, and maybe moving the seed/pot store to the top of the right side of the screen instead of the bottom (depending on how you feel, bc I know this would prob cover visuals of later game) this could be put on a mobile app store!!
